C & D South West Selected as Finalist In New Somerset Business Awards Category!
ROSPA President’s Award
As founding members of the network, we are proud to announce that Palletforce have achieved the RoSPA president’s Award in 2019. This is after many consecutive years of our network achieving the Gold award. The only UK Pallet Network with this Award, shows our dedication to safe working practices.
Our network has pioneered a series of industry innovations including opening a state-of-the-art SuperHub in Burton-upon-Trent, helping pioneer a new safety trailer and using cutting edge technology to scan and weigh goods. The award is a massive achievement for C & D South West being part of Palletforce and reflects the huge importance placed on good practices – whether within our fantastic new distribution Hub, or while vehicles are on the roads.
Logistics Supplier of the Year 2015
As a Member of Palletforce we are honored to have been crowned “Logistics Supplier of the Year” at the prestigious Grocer Gold Awards 2015.
The award was judged by a panel of FMCG experts, Our Network had to demonstrate “tangible and meaningful” improvements across their entire logistics operation in the last 12 months, such as improving efficiency, extending shelf life, delivering better availability or simply saving money.
Somerset Business Awards 2015
In October 2015 C & D were proud to be nominated as a finalist for the Somerset Business Awards 2015 for the Environmental award, in which we were placed as runners-up. This was based on our major investments in energy efficient, eco-friendly vehicles – including a range of longer trailers as part of the Department for Transport trial to increase load volumes, reduce carbon emissions and maximise fuel efficiency.
However, key to our submission was how membership of the Palletforce network has helped us reduce emissions by around 15% across our vehicles used on national trunking routes.
