Wood pellet supplier gears up for growth with major investment
A Yorkshire-based wood pellet supplier has made a major investment in specially-equipped delivery vehicles designed specifically to distribute mass, bulk-blown biomass wood pellets to domestic and commercial customers across the UK.
Goole-based Y Pellets has acquired new six and eight wheel delivery trucks featuring state-of-the-art electronic weighing systems and onboard technology that instantly transmits data of each delivery to the company’s head office then onto the customer.
The company expects to deliver thousands of tonnes of sustainably-sourced wood pellets to private homeowners and businesses including local authorities, hotel venues, care homes, manufacturers and schools, especially across Yorkshire, the Midlands, the North East and North West, over the forthcoming months.
It says the latest investment will see Y Pellets further extend its distribution capability to southern areas of England and north of the border into Scotland, and strengthen its position as a key player within the UK’s biomass fuel market.
Neil Holland, managing director of Y Pellets, said: “We are entering into the company’s busiest time and our delivery vehicles will be on the road constantly to supply customers up and down the country with biomass fuel. In terms of the industry, we are establishing an leading wood pellets company that is in a very good position to expand its operations and become one of the best within the sector.
“Our delivery lorries are 100% our own, not subcontracted, and this makes a huge difference to the quality of the pellets and customer service received by the end consumer. By making continuous investment, we can ensure the highest fuel quality possible and clients can reap the benefits in real terms meaning fuel cost savings of thousands of pounds.”
