MAJOR growth is predicted by a transport company thanks to links with the UK's fastest growing national distribution network.

Kendal-based Ree-Distribution is one of 71 elite transport companies across the country to be aligned with the Palletways network, offering next day and timed delivery options.

New developments in the network have now been announced.

Ree-Distribution Ltd will be able to take advantage of a major rebranding programme, which will make the Palletways name a leading national business brand.

Managing director of Ree-Distribution, Graham Ree, said being part of Palletways was a tremendous boost to the company and, since 1995, had helped it to increase turnover by 200 per cent.

As part of the new developments, Ree-Distribution will be able to offer the fastest-ever service in the palletised freight industry.

The service, called P120, will allow customers to place an unprocessed order as late as 4pm for delivery by 10am the next day.
