ILS hits Ten-Year Anniversary and Palletways milestone

ILS

Dual celebrations are in order at Independent Logistics Solutions (ILS), a leading transport and logistics specialist in East Sussex, as the company marks a ‘Member Milestone’ with Palletways UK and the business’ own ten-year anniversary.

ILS was founded in Heathfield in February 2013 and is a member of the Road Haulage Association and Logistics UK.  It provides same-day courier and general haulage/storage services to a variety of local customers, delivering items as a varied as bricks and office stationery to garden furniture and fresh eggs. It operates a fleet of 20 vehicles and serves customers across East Sussex and beyond.

The company joined Palletways shortly after its formation and celebrates its tenth anniversary this month by extending its Palletways contract. ILS Director, Sue Brooks, said: “The business has grown significantly since its formation. We started off handling around 2,000 pallets per month but now move closer to 11,000. To date, we’ve handled more than 900,000 pallets for Palletways and I’m proud to say that we’ve worked hard over the last decade to become a trusted network member.

“Our business is stronger by being part of Palletways. The brand is known throughout the UK and Europe and many trading companies approach us to work with them because they trust it. From delivering pallets, this leads onto helping customers with other transport requirements, including general haulage and storage, so for us it’s a win-win.”

Warwick Trimble, Network Director, Palletways UK adds: “ILS’ double milestone is a great achievement in what can be a challenging industry, especially in recent years. Recruiting and retaining the best hauliers in the business is a core part of our activity, so it’s important to celebrate the longevity of our members and reward them for their dedication to customer service and operational excellence.   
 
“As a network, we can only be as strong as our members, so I’d like to convey my appreciation to the fantastic team at ILS for their hard work. We look forward to them being part of the Palletways success story for many years to come.”
