The UK leader in palletised freight is celebrating its network expansion with two new members.

Pall-Ex today (Monday 8 March) announced Oxfordshire haulier DA Clayton Ltd and Suffolk’s Karl King Transport Ltd will join its 90-strong member network spanning the length and breadth of the UK.

DA Clayton’s established base location provides rapid direct access to the M40 corridor on the M1 and M4 and will enhance Pall-Ex’s award-winning service as well as echoing its commitment to excellence in customer service.

Karl King Transport operates in excess of 100,000 sq ft for warehousing at its Suffolk base from which it has evolved as a market leader in the de-vanning storage and delivery of customer goods entering the UK through the Haven ports of Felixstowe, Ipswich and Harwich over the past two decades.

Terry Reynolds at DA Clayton, said: “As a proud new member of Pall-Ex, we will have instant access to the No.1 overnight palletised freight network, providing an unrivalled nationwide express service which will inevitably enhance our service by working in partnership.”

Karl King, Managing Director at Karl King Transport Ltd, added: “Pall-Ex is a fast-moving, forward-thinking industry leader which promotes best practice by operating to the highest standards, and we are looking forward to benefiting from its expertise while continuing to maintain our excellent customer service record.”

Hilary Devey, managing director of Pall-Ex, said: “Joining the Pall-Ex network aims not only to bring real tangible benefits for new members such as DA Clayton and Karl King Transport across the UK, but it also allows us to remain at the forefront of the industry as one of the most innovative palletised logistics companies in the UK, continuing our expansion in order to combine best practice with an unrivalled service.”
