Palletforce grows with increased sales team

From left, sales manager Jason Law, sales and marketing coordinator Marie Leadbeater, and regional sales manager Jeremy Flinders.PALLETFORCE, one of the UK’s leading palletised distribution networks, is appointing three new staff members to strengthen its sales team.

Now operational in its £30million state-of-the-art palletised distribution hub, at Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, it is an exciting time for Palletforce as it increases its sales team to pursue strategic and national accounts.

The new appointments include regional sales manager, Jeremy Flinders for the Midlands, and sales manager, Jason Law covering the South West, supported by sales and marketing coordinator Marie Leadbeater.

All three staff bring a wealth of experience from the logistics, palletised distribution and supply chain industries.

With almost ten years’ experience in winning key accounts in the palletised distribution industry Jeremy Flinders is excited at the potential growth for Palletforce.

“The new £30million distribution hub is the best sales tool in the industry. It is a great opportunity and the best one I could have hoped for,” said Jeremy.

For 25 years Jason Law has worked for several bluechip steamship companies, including NYK Logistics, MAERSK, OOCL, as well as major third party logistics (3PLs).

Jason explained: “My supply chain knowledge in manufacturing, together with an operational background in freight forwarding has helped brand retail clients to realise significant inventory cost savings through identified efficiencies.

“By joining Palletforce I am looking forward to supporting the local business community and other organisations delivering cost effective solutions coupled with outstanding service.”

Supporting the sales team is sales and marketing coordinator Marie Leadbeatter, who comes from a pallet network and logistics marketing background.

“Palletforce is clearly ahead of the game and with such a strong team there is massive potential for the company going forward,” said Marie.

Director of sales and marketing Dave Holland added: “It is fantastic for Palletforce that the new staff members bring such a cross section of knowledge and experience.

“Combined with the strength of the new £30million hub, Palletforce is increasing its team to position itself for expansion and development of key strategic and national accounts.”
