Walkers Transport has been recognised by Palletways, Europe's largest and fastest growing express palletised freight network, for its outstanding sales performance and the role it has played in the expansion of Palletways this year.

Walkers Transport is one of more than 110 members that form the UK Palletways network. The company, which operates out of Rochdale and Leeds, was announced as the Region Winner in Palletways 2017 Sales Awards at its National Sales Conference in November. The Award marks twelve months of outstanding achievement in sales and marketing by Walkers Transport, which joined the Palletways network over 15 years ago.

Victoria Reynard, group sales manager at Walkers Transport, said: “Winning this award is a fantastic way to end another successful year working with Palletways. We're delighted to have won as it reflects the dedication and hard work of every member of staff at our depots.”

Walkers Transport has helped Palletways UK move a record breaking 5.4 million pallets – the biggest year for the network to date. The 2016/17 figure beat the previous year’s record by some 300,000 pallets.

Commenting, Dave Walmsley, Palletways UK managing director, said: “Walkers Transport has made a significant contribution to the strength of the network over the past 12 months and their efforts are well deserving of this award. The company has been a top performer in their region over the past 12 months, setting an excellent example to the industry. We’re delighted the team is part of the Palletways family and the award officially recognises their continuing excellence.”
