IN the face of a changing Europe and the uncertainty caused by this month’s snap election, logistics firm PC Howard Ltd, which has offices in Northampton, Kings Cliffe and Corby, is very much prepared for the future – whatever it may bring.
The company operates a high-quality distribution service across the UK and Europe, as well as warehousing, fulfillment and pick and pack services at its Northamptonshire bases.
A long-standing association with Palletways and a strong commitment to customer service has helped the business develop a thriving and expanding palletised freight delivery service, with Palletways allowing the company to offer the same services and operate to the same code of practice in Europe as it does throughout the UK.
Operating with 13 European hubs in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Eire, Austria, Luxembourg and Poland and more than 350 local network members, moving freight around Europe couldn’t be any easier. Today, Palletways handles more than 30,000 pallets across Europe every day and cross border volume growth is predicted to reach over 50 per cent this year.
Managing Director Andrew Howard said: “The key to the expansion and success of Palletways’ operations across Europe has been investment in IT to provide a value rich service for its customers.
“This started with the development of a pan-European IT platform that enabled deliveries between Palletways’ different networks in Europe and has continued with the recent introduction of our digital information hub, a tool designed to greatly enhance operational efficiencies and the customer experience by optimising the use of live data.
“These are very exciting times for PC Howard and the Palletways network. Our expansion continues to present significant competitive advantage as we can collect all of our customer’s freight on one vehicle and deliver to over 20 countries across Europe.”
