Great Bromley-based Pallet Plus Ltd has offered up its fleet to help the Government amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The firm has joined more than 700 logistics businesses, all members of the UK’s eight major pallet networks, to put their combined fleet of 23,500 vehicles at the Government’s disposal.

In the move headed by the Association of Pallet Networks, the networks have joined forces to offer their services for the distribution of critical emergency and food supplies.

Gary Rowe, managing director at Pallet Plus, said: “We are proud to play our part in this unique collaboration as the entire UK industry joins forces to transport the most vital supplies.

“Collectively our sector has unrivalled resource and the individual companies are experts with vast experience of express distribution.”
