The Pallet Network (TPN) has announced the strategic transition of its collection and delivery operations in the Teesside region, transferring activity from its company-owned site, TPN Teesside in Stockton-on-Tees, to longstanding TPN Partner NFS360 Connect, based in Peterlee.
The move forms part of TPN’s continued focus on operational excellence and growth, enabling the business to concentrate on its core strength of running a high-performing, efficient pallet network while creating new opportunities for TPN Partners to drive sustainable regional growth.
By transitioning responsibility for the TS postcode area to NFS360 Connect, TPN is strengthening its commitment to Partner-led service delivery, leveraging local market expertise to enhance customer experience and support long-term, quality volume growth. The move will also see NFS360 significantly expand its operational footprint in the region, effectively doubling the size of its pallet network operation.
NFS360 Connect is a founding Partner of TPN and, as part of Groupe DESLOG, benefits from the support and strength of the wider continental group.
With a growth strategy closely aligned to that of TPN, the business shares the network’s ambition to work more closely with both Partners and customers, making it a natural choice to oversee the Teesside operation.
The new arrangement ensures continuity of service and, with the majority of the current TPN Teesside team transferring to NFS360 Connect, provides stability for customers and TPN Partners alike.
Michael Conroy, TPN Chief Executive Officer, said: “This transition marks an important step for TPN and is aligned to our core strategy around enabling growth and delivering sector-leading excellence.
“It allows us to sharpen our focus on what we do best, operating a successful and efficient pallet network operation, while creating a valuable commercial opportunity for one of our trusted members.
“NFS360 Connect has a long and successful history within TPN, and we are confident its local expertise, market knowledge and shared commitment to service quality will deliver strong outcomes for our membership and customers in the region.”
Michael Banks, NFS360 Connect Managing Director, said: “We’ve built our reputation on reliability, service excellence and delivering for our customers, so it’s extremely positive news that we can now expand our TPN area and substantially increase our operational footprint across the North East.
“This expansion effectively doubles the size of our pallet network operation, driving growth as we support more customers and provide even greater coverage across the region while maintaining the high service standards our customers expect.
“With the support of Groupe DESLOG, our continued investment in people, fleet and infrastructure ensures we’re well positioned to meet increasing demand and support businesses with trusted transport, warehousing and logistics solutions.”
