ELB Partners of Wimbledon in London has opened a second depot in Purfleet, Essex.
Steve Eason, joint managing director, said: “This bold move comes at a time of financial instability and rising costs in the haulage industry, but was absolutely crucial to continue to provide the extremely high service levels that our customers demand and receive, and will assist us to continue to expand at the current rate with our ever increasing portfolio of customers.”
ELB’s workforce has grown from 16 employees to more than 60 in the past five years, and its fleet currently stands at 43 vehicles, with more on order.
ELB joined the pallet network Pallet Track in 2004 to improve its offerings, and because the network’s members are its shareholders.
