A transport company is launching a new service to add to its portfolio.

Interoute, of Thame, has taken delivery of six vehicles for its recently-announced pallet delivery service.

It has joined Pall-Ex, one of the biggest distributors in the UK, with 80 sites handling more than 5,000 pallets each night. The vehicles are four 18-tonne trucks, a 7.5 tonne vehicle and a double decker trailer with tractor unit.

Interoute also specialises in bulk distribution of chemicals, gases, edibles, milk, and offers warehousing services.

Over the years, the company has taken over Bennetts, of Thame, and United Transport.
