A distribution specialist has moved to bigger premises after boosting its business.

The Pink Link Ltd has transferred operations from Netherton to Crosland Road, Oakes, and invested in its fleet of distinctive pink vehicles.

The move follows a successful first six months of 2014 during which the family-owned and managed company doubled its delivery of pallets to its European destinations and saw growth in the UK market.

The Pink Link said the move meant customers would benefit from later cut off points, closer links to motorway networks and improved IT communications.

Sales and commercial director Vicki Davenport said: “When looking at new premises, customers were a vital consideration. Customer care is key to The Pink Link Ltd and is something the team prides itself on delivering at all times through its dedicated customer services team.”

Since the move, the firm has made “significant” investments in its equipment and premises. The business has purchased four new trailers, three tractor units and has also improved the site and the existing fleet of trucks.

Said Vicki: “2014 has been an exciting year for The Pink Link so far. We are delighted with our new office, which provides us with closer motorway links and improved connection to our customers which is vitally important. “

She said: After successful growth both within the UK and in Europe, we are looking forward to experiencing the benefits the new location delivers, whilst continuously delivering an excellent service to our customers.”
