Built for growth since 1988

Robert Rushworth founds Pennine Parcels in Halifax with a clear commitment to delivering excellent customer service. The values we started with still hold today.

Pennine Parcels helps launch the UK’s first pallet network, giving customers nationwide reach.

We make the strategic call to focus exclusively on palletised distribution, investing in the systems, people and infrastructure to become true logistics experts.

Pennine Parcels becomes the first Palletline member to put a million pallets into the network, proof of both our scale and our customers’ trust.

As we grow beyond pallets into solution-based logistics, a new name marks the shift, and the start of handling more complex supply chains.

Expect becomes the first Yorkshire company to win Motor Transport’s Haulier of the Year, validating a reputation built on quality of service.

The move to our Premier Point headquarters in Bradford opens new warehousing capacity, letting customers combine storage and distribution under one roof.

Neil Rushworth assumes the role of Managing Director, steering the company to pass £20m in annual revenue, which helps fund better facilities, technology and widens capability and reach for customers.

Premier Point expands by a further 2.5 acres, including a dedicated lorry park, improving efficiency and capacity.

We open Woodlands, a 200,000 sq ft warehouse, giving customers more space, more capacity and more flexibility.

Despite the pandemic, we hit record trading and grow past £30m turnover – proof of the resilience our customers rely on.

We win Motor Transport’s Haulier of the Year for the third time, alongside Bradford Means Business Employer of the Year – recognition for our service and people.

Matthew Kilner and Andy Taylor complete a management buyout, bringing fresh investment and a renewed focus on sustainable growth.

A £1m investment in high-bay racking adds 22,000 pallet locations, giving customers greater flexibility and room to scale.

We acquire Pallet Plus in Colchester, adding colleagues, vehicles and regional reach for customers nationwide.

Neil Rushworth retires after 34 years and Bob Duffy joins the Board.

The acquisition of Dependall expands our warehousing expertise, customer base and capability, and opens new room to grow.

Our proprietary operations management software launches, giving customers real-time visibility, better reporting and a more connected logistics experience.

Our first electric vehicles join the fleet, helping customers meet their own environmental goals while future-proofing our operation.

The acquisition takes us past 500 colleagues, 200+ vehicles and £80m turnover, creating one of the strongest logistics groups in the region.

More than a new look, our rebrand reflects the strength of our business, our ambition for the future, and our commitment to helping customers grow.
