Case study: ‘Online courses have us well prepared for whatever comes in January’

Established in 2004, award-winning Pallet Xpress is one of the leading freight companies in Ireland which will be significantly impacted by Brexit. The company, based on Dublin’s northside, has a nationwide distribution network comprising twenty-five haulier members. The company specialises in consignments of up to six pallets with the capacity to handle larger deliveries. It also delivers cartons in Ireland.

Some 3,000 pallets are processed per day at Pallet Xpress which has a staff of thirty. As the company’s compliance and quality manager, Gary Pedreschi says: “We’re going to be very much affected by Brexit because we’re part of the ‘Just in Time’ movement model . A lot of our consignments would be on a frequent order basis with goods arriving in a forty- eight hour import/export service to and from the UK. With this model, I don’t have to keep stock. I have the freedom to order it when I require it.”
