SCOTTISH FREIGHT and haulage operator Northwards, with bases in Shetland, Orkney, Aberdeen, Inverness, Scrabster, and Central Scotland, delivered more than 70,000 pallets across the UK and Europe via UPN (the United Pallet Network) in 2022. This was the highest level of growth across the entire network and has resulted in Northwards being awarded the title of ‘Sales Depot of the Year’ by the UPN organisation.
Commercial director of Northwards, Neil Leslie, said: “We were pleased to achieve such recognition by UPN. We have been a member for 15 years and we have developed a strong relationship. Our customers really value the service which is the most advanced of its kind, with full track and trace of goods, from collection to delivery, across the UK and Europe.”
Northwards’ depot in Cumbernauld, which is pivotal to UPN deliveries, links with 90 member depots in the network. The UK operation includes a priority 24-hour service, a standard 48-hour service, as well as a tail lift and oversized pallet service. The company achieves 99.9% on time using real time GPS to monitor where vehicles are unloading.
