Spotlight: UK

We completed the acquisition of Dobbs Logistics in East Sussex, a high quality local road freight and contract logistics operator that substantially strengthened our Palletforce network coverage in the Southeast.

We completed the roll out of EV People, our new global HR system, and successfully on-boarded over 2,100 UK employees onto a platform that will help transform the way we look after our people.

On the property front, we continued to rebrand and refresh many of our sites across the UK, improving the working environment for many of our people, and we sold our old sea freight office unit in Southampton, relocating our team there to a much nicer and more modern waterfront location.

We made a £3 million investment in a new and upgraded fork lift truck fleet at the Palletforce SuperHub in Burton-on-Trent ensuring our team have the best tools for the job as they handle over 18,000 pallets a night of members freight.
