Nominated Carrier Scheme
- 1. Retail Nominated Carrier Scheme
Editor's Notes
- THE OPPORTUNITY Ladies and gentlemen, I am here today to compete for the Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and to try to convey to you why I think I am worthy of this title. Nearly twelve years ago, I identified an opportunity in transport & logistics, grabbed and developed that opportunity and Pall-Ex was born. Pall-Ex has been trading for 11 years this year! The concept came to me whilst I was sat in a traffic office in South Wales, waiting to discuss with the owner of the company a nominated carrier scheme on behalf of a major retailer I was consulting for at that time. I overheard a very ‘everyday conversation’ taking place, the same conversation that happened in every hauliers traffic office all over the country. Very simply a customer was requesting for a 3 palletised consignments to be delivered to Scotland, the traffic clerk accepted the booking advised the customer that it would take approximately 10 days to arrive there; he then proceeded to make dozens of phone calls to his other customers, asking if they also had any goods to be delivered to Scotland. I suddenly began to think of the environmental cost, inefficiencies, to everyone, the problem impacted greatly on the country as a whole, environmentally, because of the number of vehicles running partially empty, the cost of these journeys. And of course the inefficiency to the haulier, the manufacturer, and of course the customer.
