The Pink Link Ltd recently celebrated the official opening
of its new premises at Oakes, Huddersfield, with the help of
the local club's football Chairman, Dean Hoyle, who marked
the event by the cutting of a pink ribbon. Huddersfield Town
players Murray Wallace and former Town favourite, Andy
Booth also attended.
Tickled pink with new offices
The Pink Link Ltd team was also joined by a number of
customers, including Card Factory, National Flexible and
Easy Pave at the launch.
The family-owned palletised distribution specialist, which
has distinctively branded pink trucks, says the recent move
and expansion not only brings an exciting new chapter for
the company, but also provides its customers with a number
of key service improvements including later order times
due to its closer proximity to motorway links and improved
communications through the introduction of enhanced
information technologies.
Vicki Davenport, Sales and Commercial Director at The Pink
Link Ltd, added:
"Customer care and providing the personal touch is key to
The Pink Link's success and is something that the business
prides itself on delivering at all times through our highly
skilled team. Central to our success and continued growth
has been our membership of the Palletways network, which
has helped open up new business opportunities in both
the UK and mainland Europe for the express delivery of
palletised freight consignments."

Sovereign Transport in Merseyside has secured a contract with
bathroom specialists Victorian Plumbing. The company has been
announced as the main haulier for the online bathroom store and will
be responsible for all their deliveries in the UK and across Europe.
Tapping into a new market
Mark Radcliffe, managing director at Victorian Plumbing said:
"As an online-focused business, we need to know that our deliveries
are reaching customers on time and in the same condition they
left our warehouse. We need to be able to trust our partners and
Sovereign Transport has provided us with consistency, reliability
and an ease of communication that lets us know that our customers
are in good hands."
Rachael Forshaw, sales manager at Sovereign Transport, added:
"This is not just a contract win for us but a great partnership working
with one of the biggest bathroom retailers in the UK and Europe.
Our partnership has grown rapidly and with the expertise of both
companies, the handling of over 30,000 pallets has been largely
trouble free."
Sovereign Transport, which has recently celebrated its 15th anniversary
as a Palletways network member, has a 25-strong vehicle fleet and
employs over 40 members of staff. As part of its expansion plans, the
company has recently acquired some new land to accommodate a
brand new bespoke-built national depot.
