The Aldermen and Council members came to visit our Tiel Depot to see an example of one of the leading businesses in our industry.
Every year they visit a different company to gain knowledge and experience of the various companies in our area
They found our company history, growth and working model impressive.
We were delighted to host them this year and enjoyed their company.
The first of our new KRONE European trailers have now been added to our fleet. These are the first of the EU trailers to be branded in our Currie Solutions livery. We are delighted with the results.
These will begin working from our depot in Tiel, The Netherlands. Our European team work across Europe as well as importing and Exporting across to the UK.
When Brian Laudrup signed for Ranger in the 90’s he asked us to transport his car over from Denmark. We happily provided the service on one of our Groupage trailers at the time. The staff in the office were delighted to meet both him and Mark Hately who drove him down to collect the motor from our Dumfries office.
10 New Mercedes were added to our fleet this week. We continuously invest in our fleet to make sure that we have modern and reliable units working for our customers. The new Mercedes were all wrapped in our new livery and hit the road this week.
All our trucks and trailers are fitted with the latest Masternaut technology so we can track your freight accurately. We can also monitor environmental factors such as driving style, speed and fuel efficiency.
Through our modern technology, operational planning and training we strive to monitor our environmental impact:
The modern hub offers 30,000 square feet of warehousing space, two acres of available parking for lorries, and is expected to see a 400 percent increase in pallets moving through the north. Pall-Ex managing director Kevin Buchanan said:
“This new northern hub will allow Pall-Ex to process a much larger volume of freight benefiting the entire network, as well as the north of the UK. Trunks from our northern depots will be processed through the Northern Hub, resulting in reduced travelling costs and improved operational efficiencies. It’s testament to the strong, growing and supportive freight network that Pall-Ex is.”
Pall-Ex is one of the UK’s leading pallet networks, with over 100 member depots and handles around 10,000 pallets per night. As full members, Currie can divert the distribution of quarter, half and full pallets through Pall-Ex’s palletised freight distribution network.
With modern hubs in Ellistown, Leicestershire and at Currie’s Warrington site, Pall-Ex is the only pallet network to boast ISO 14001 accreditation. Currie’s selective use of the network avoids running uneconomically, whilst maintaining the highest standards of customer service.
Stephen Turner, managing director of Currie, said:
“Taking responsibility of Pall-Ex’s northern hub will allow us greater capability to transport freight across the north of the UK, and will have a positive impact on a continued quality service throughout the country.”
We are not just a haulier. “Solutions” stands for the complete package we can offer customers – transport, warehousing, stock holding, stock management, order picking and packing, returns management and cross docking services throughout the UK and Europe.
Throughout Currie European’s 40 years experience of working in the transport industry we have developed an understanding of the issues our customers face when holding and distributing goods. Therefore; we have developed several services that are easily adapted to best suit individual business needs.
We work with a number of industries from manufacture, retail, drinks and construction to woods and agriculture.
By changing our branding to Currie Solutions, we are changing our philosophy from a transport company to a business solutions partner.
Currie European Transport Ltd is still our registered name and a major part of the business. Currie Solutions allows us to fulfil all small, medium and large businesses logistic requirements.
