UK pallet volumes hit record 31.5m but groupage levels slide

The Association of Pallet Networks (APN) is calling on government to suspend fuel duty for the logistics industry to protect hauliers from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and secure the supply chain.

Gatwick-based haulier DNA has expanded its Palletforce postcode to include parts of Guildford.

Pallet-Track said an initial impact on its sales volumes during the first two months of lockdown in March had been reversed and its activity levels were already exceeding original forecasts.
