Leicester-based logistics provider, Hawks Haulage, has joined the Palletways UK network, marking a key milestone in its strategic growth plans.
Founded in 2019 by Pardeep Virk as a single-truck operation, the company has rapidly grown into a thriving, family-run logistics outfit, now operating a fleet of 35 vehicles and employing 40 staff.
The decision to join Palletways – Europe’s largest express palletised freight network – represents a strategic move to further enhance the business’ offering to customers, while maintaining the personalised service that has underpinned Hawks Haulage’s success.
It comes amid major growth plans which also include further fleet expansions, technological upgrades, staff development and investment in a new state-of-the-art warehouse facility capable of storing up to 2,500 pallets.
This development is set to strengthen the firm’s operational infrastructure, enabling greater efficiency, improving storage solutions and supporting future expansion into integrated logistics services.
Matt Prewett, Palletways Principal and Network Operations Manager at Hawks Haulage, commented: “We are delighted to be joining the Palletways UK network at such an exciting time for the business.
“This partnership allows us to strengthen our service offering and reaffirm our position at the forefront of logistics in the region, while continuing to deliver and preserving the personal, family-led approach that has set us apart.”
Warwick Trimble, Network Director for Palletways UK added: “We are pleased to welcome Hawks Haulage to the Palletways network. Their strong growth, operational expertise, and clear commitment to service excellence make them a valuable addition to our membership.
“We look forward to supporting their continued development and working together to deliver even greater value to customers.”
Beyond its own fleet, Hawks Haulage’s in-house maintenance garage plays a key role in helping other operators and road users across the region keep their vehicles compliant and roadworthy.
