Lily is enjoying some well earned rest and has been snacking on her favourite delicacy of marmalade sandwiches, as well as warm water with pig nuts.

The eleven little piggies are mostly pink but some have dark spots on their backs and noses, as dad pig was completely black.

Palletways UK MD Craig Hibbert award the plaque to directors Phil Edwards & Nigel Jones

At a recent awards ceremony at Beaumont House Hotel in Windsor, Speed were awarded Palletways Platinum Partner status for a second year running.

The coveted Platinum Partner status is awarded to only a handful of Palletways depots, fourteen this year, down three on seventeen the previous year. In order to be awarded the highest award in the Palletways network, we had to demonstrate exemplary levels of delivery and collection service in KPIs and provision of service to both other Palletways members and our own customers.

This comes at the time when Palletways have recently launched their new marketing campaign which involved launching a giant hot air balloon dragon named Slick to reflect the seamless and professional Palletways service. The 61ft tall dragon with a glass bottomed ‘basket’ and a giant pallet on his back was launched from Warwick Castle earlier this month and will make appearances across the country.

Last night we completed sign-writing of the first vehicle to proudly show our new, rebranded company image.

The 18 ton DAF LF lorry is now sporting the full rebranded Speed livery! We hope you will see it’s striking colours out and about Welshpool and Mid-Wales.

Picture will be following later today.

Due to company expansion, we have now implemented a new email addressing scheme which incorporates both the first and last names of the staff member you are writing to. For example, if previously you were communicating with Nick Eastbury via nick@speeddistribution.co.uk, his email address has now changed to nick.eastbury@speedwelshpool.com.

Please rest assured however that if you accidentally email an old address (to the speeddistribution.co.uk domain) by accident, your email will be forwarded over to the relevant person. This forwarding system will only be active for a few months however, so we kindly advise all customers to update their records and address books as appropriate.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Slick the dragon is launched from Warwick Castle

On 12th July 2010, Palletways embarked on their new marketing campaign by launching a giant hot air balloon dragon from Warwick Castle.

The 61ft tall balloon dragon named “Slick”, after the seamless and professional service Palletways provide to all customers, was developed by British balloon creator Lindstrand, who create balloons for such high profile clientele as Richard Branson.

Slick is the only balloon in the country that has a glass bottomed ‘basket’ and a giant pallet on his back. He has a wingspan of 14 metres, and a tail that is 44 metres long – longer than five double-decker buses parked end-to-end.

Slick forms part of the new Palletways UK ‘marketing vehicle’ and will be appearing at various events across the country over the next year.
