Freight distributor announces new hire to support global operations
Pall-Ex, a palletised freight distribution network based in Leicestershire, has announced an appointment to support the continued growth of its global operations.
Ellie Harman has been appointed as international quality & compliance manager, marking a step in her journey since joining the Pall-Ex team as an apprentice in 2018.
Based at Pall-Ex’s headquarters in Ellistown, Harman will primarily work with Pall-Ex UK’s shareholder members and their customers.
She will also provide training and support on the network’s cross-border services, ensuring adherence to international export regulations and customs clearance across Europe.
She said: “I look forward to educating our members and engaging with our partners about the strengths and capabilities of our international service. Since Brexit, there has been some uncertainty around sending freight to Europe, my role is to provide clarity and guidance to help strengthen confidence amongst our members and their customers.”
“Pall-Ex Group has invested heavily in its IT infrastructure and international service offering, both here in the UK and across the continent, providing added benefits for not only our UK customers but customers internationally. With new advancements in cross-border visibility, global track & trace and the launch of new European networks such as Pall-Ex Ireland, we are uniquely positioned to provide a leading service across Europe.”
Sue Buchanan, international director for Pall-Ex, said: “I’m delighted to have Ellie on board. As the International Quality & compliance manager, she will help educate our members on cross-border regulations and ensure compliance with the post-Brexit regulations. We want our entire membership to have the confidence to introduce international services to their customer base and seek additional cross-border volume. This will enable SMEs around the UK to reach new markets and become established international exporters.”
