Palletforce has expanded its national network with the addition of Invo Fulfilment, a Midlands-based storage and distribution firm and part of the long-established Involvement Group.
The family-run business, founded in 1974, operates from five sites across the Midlands and Manchester and brings over 50 years of experience in warehousing, fulfilment and ambient food logistics.
It will now cover southern CV postcodes including Leamington Spa, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon as part of the Palletforce network.
Oliver Lancaster, operations director at Involvement Group, said: “Being part of an established brand and network like Palletforce raises Invo Fulfilment’s profile within the haulage and distribution sector and offers fantastic growth opportunities.
“In addition, the network allows us to provide a competitive and sustainable next-day service for our storage and fulfilment customers across the UK.”
The Involvement Group employs over 80 people and runs 45 vehicles, with services including lot tracking, pick and pack, inventory management and off-loading support. The company’s BRC AA+ accreditation supports its focus on ambient food distribution.
Gary Bevan, head of Invo Fulfilment, added: “We’ve worked hard to build a trusted customer base and we choose our partners carefully.
“There is an alignment of core values with Palletforce – we are both completely focused on quality and customer service – and we value the stability, innovation and technology support the network offers.”
Chris Dennigan, network development director at Palletforce, said: “Palletforce is able to deliver stability, consistent service and increase its market share thanks to our continued strategy to secure best-in-postcode members.
“Invo Fulfilment is a great fit for our network, membership and their customer base and we value the ambitious and determined approach the business has.”
