One of the largest privately-owned freight forwarders in Ireland has become the latest member of the Pallet-Track network.
Dublin-headquartered Toga Freight Group moves large volumes of palletised groupage shipments between Britain and Ireland every week via its hub in Hams Hall, near Birmingham.
This depot will take the lead in integrating into the Wolverhampton-based network, which enables logistics companies to work together to transport freight efficiently around the UK.
Toga Freight, which also operates multiple weekly departures to Ireland and mainland Europe from depots in Kent and Warrington, first expanded into the UK in 2023.
The business said that while it offers blanket next-day delivery across Ireland, it didn’t have that power in Great Britain – and says Pallet-Track is the “perfect solution” for this requirement.
Toga Group CEO Robert Dickinson said:
“Since our major expansion into Great Britain started in 2023, we have managed to control our volumes using our own resources in the main.
“However, we needed to shorten the transit times to Ireland to a next-day service from most, if not all of Great Britain, rather than just from around our own depots, so we needed to join a network to enable that.
“We met with a few of the main UK pallet networks, but when we looked closely at what we wanted to achieve – better service, sustainability and reliability – Pallet Track came out head and shoulders above the rest.”
Toga Freight is also a shareholder member of the European network Astre Europe and Astre Pallet System and has its own Asian entity – Toga Freight Services Asia LLC, based in Vietnam.
