PALLETFORCE member Archbold Logistics Ltd has won a £500,000 national distribution contract with a leading pound store supplier.

The logistics company, which is a member of palletised distribution network Palletforce, has started working with OTL, based near Leeds.

OTL is a supplier to major pound stores and supermarket chains across the country and will be working mainly with Archbold’s Manchester depot.

“This is a significant new contract for us and we are delighted to be working with OTL, a leader in their field,” said Chief Executive Xavier Archbold.

“We have worked with them in the past on some specific projects and undertook a big and complex project moving their warehouse stock which went very well.

“They had been working with another major transport company but the Palletforce quality service impressed and we are looking forward to working together.”

Archbold Logistics, which covers parts of the M and CV postcode for Palletforce, is a family-run firm that was set up in 1918.

Today, it operates more than 150 vehicles and has bases in Manchester, Leeds, Nuneaton and Coventry.

“Once again the quality service our members are known for has secured another business win for the Palletforce network and by working together we continue to thrive despite the fragile economic conditions,” said Palletforce Chief Executive Michael Conroy.
