A transport and logistics firm in Swaffham has received a national award in recognition of its outstanding performance from Palletways UK, Europe’s largest express palletised freight network.
GE-BE Transport, a member of the Palletways UK network, received a Platinum Award – the company’s highest accolade – for operational excellence and consistently high service and sales performance in supporting its customers this year.
The Award was presented to GE-BE Transport at a Gala Dinner to celebrate Palletways’ 30th anniversary. To qualify for a Platinum Award, members had to grow their year-on-year volumes across both domestic and European markets, continually achieve outstanding service levels, undertake active engagement with the Armed Forces community, and drive forward sustainable practices.
James Langan, Director, GE-BE Transport Ltd, said: ”The whole business is very pleased and proud to be a Platinum Club award winner this year. It is great that the efforts the team has made, to successfully grow our Palletways business both organically and through extending our areas of coverage, have been recognised in this way. We have been pleased to welcome a number of ex-military personnel into the team and to see them develop into their roles and perform strongly in a business environment. We look forward to further building our partnership with Palletways over the coming years.”
Warwick Trimble, Network Director at Palletways UK, adds: “It is a delight to present GE-BE Transport with this Platinum Award and we thank them for their ongoing efforts in driving the network forward. GE-BE Transport is a family-run business that prides itself on quality and service delivery. It has a reputation for excellent customer service and efficient operations, and that, together with its active engagement with the Armed Forces community, make it a worthy recipient this year.”
Supporting ex-servicemen and women through employment is close to Palletways’ heart, having pledged its support to the Armed Forces Covenant in January of 2022, and achieving the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award eighteen months later.
Warwick continues: “As a business, our focus is on growing our pallet volumes and providing our customers with a service that’s fast, efficient and reliable. Our Platinum Awards highlight the dedication of our members and recognise their contribution towards achieving our goals throughout the year.”
