Renowned entrepreneur Hilary Devey CBE has praised Sussex’s South Link Logistics as the business celebrates reaching the £3m turnover mark.
The Lancing-based firm has also reached another milestone – its first two years as a member of Hilary’s palletised freight network Pall-Ex, which has helped contribute towards South Link’s growth.
“I’ve worked with a lot of businesses in my time, and South Link Logistics is up there with the best,” commented Hilary, CEO of Pall-Ex.
“Logistics is a tough market and it requires grit and determination by the bucket-load. South Link’s team has this in abundance and I’m delighted to hear that the firm is going from strength-to-strength. It’s a competitive industry and to be able to grow a business, as South Link has done, is commendable.”
South Link Logistics was founded in 1991 and was initially turning over around £500k per year. In 1999, Karl Reidy acquired the business and has focused on growth, joining the Pall-Ex network in 2014 to offer customers in the South East the ability to have goods transported quickly and costeffectively across the UK.
Now with a turnover of £3m, South Link operates a fleet of 15 vehicles, with access to 400 further rental vehicles with its partner allports, and employs a team of 25 people.
Director Karl Reidy, believes there’s more growth to come: “An efficient supply chain is the backbone of the country and there are so many great companies here in the South East that need a reliable partner to move their goods around the country.
“There are many opportunities out there and if you offer a solid service, you can benefit from them.
“We’re all thrilled that someone as renowned in the industry as Hilary has recognised our hard work. Being part of Pall-Ex has helped us expand our offering and offer a broader range of services to our customers.
“We’re obviously delighted with our solid turnover, but there’s still more work to be done.”
Pall-Ex has a network of almost 100 hauliers across the UK who collect and deliver goods in designated postcode areas.
