We’ve officially joined the Wolverhampton-based pallet network to cover postcodes in Jersey and Guernsey.
We’ll transport pallets from Pallet-Track’s Midlands hub to our sister company Woodside Logistics in Portsmouth, for final mile delivery to the Channel Islands.
JPGL and Woodside Logistics are part of Jersey Post Group, and we collectively we have a team of 150 across our Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Wight and other UK sites.
Charlie Gallichan, Group Freight Director at Jersey Post Group, said: “We’re delighted to join Pallet-Track, one of the UK’s most trusted pallet networks.
“At JPGL and our sister company, Woodside Logistics, we’re an experienced team dedicated to providing high quality logistics throughout the Channel Islands, UK and Europe, so membership of Pallet Track felt a great fit for us.
“Woodside are cross Channel and Island specialists, and play a crucial role in island supply chain resilience, so we’ll be using our existing network for the Jersey and Guernsey postcodes.
“We also have strong partnerships on the south coast, so we’re well placed to support Pallet-Track in these postcodes.
“We’re looking forward to working with Pallet-Track as we continue to expand our domestic capability.”
Stuart Godman, CEO at Pallet-Track, said: “JPGL is a well-established specialist and a respected name in both the logistics industry and in the Channel Islands, so incredibly pleased to be working alongside such a knowledgeable team.
“With more than 50 years’ experience, the firm has the expertise and skills to support our growth outside of the mainland and maintain the high-quality service and standards of our network.
“We extend a warm welcome to JPGL and look forward to growing our services together.”
Pallet-Track has a shareholder member network of more than 90 distribution specialists, which transport more than 3.9m pallets per year.
With this partnership we’ll initially handle around 5,000 pallets a month on behalf of the network – a number we hope to grow as the partnership develops.
