A Huddersfield-based distribution firm is celebrating after picking up an award for service excellence.

The Pink Link Ltd, based at Oakes, is a member of Palletways – Europe’s largest and fastest-growing express palletised freight network.

Now the company has scooped the Platinum Club award in recognition of its performance, commitment to customer service and compliance in the network over the past 12 months.

Richard Allen, principal from The Pink Link Ltd, said: “We couldn’t have wished for a better start to the year. This award reflects the work of the entire team and I hope it sets the scene for the rest of 2015.”

Barry Byers, network director at Palletways (UK) Ltd, said: “We would like to congratulate The Pink Link Ltd for being one of the top performers in our UK network.

“Providing customers with a fast, reliable and efficient service is our top priority and the platinum award highlights the dedication of our members in meeting the very highest standards.”

Palletways consists of 300 depots across Europe, of which more than 100 are in the UK. The distribution networks are made up of independent transport companies who share resources to deliver consignments of palletised freight to market faster and more cost effectively.
