Knights of Old Ltd is a major shareholder
in the national distribution consortium, Partnerlink Ltd. The concept
of Partnerlink is to maximise freight movement whilst minimising
pollution, through the cooperation and consolidation of loads between
all regional partners.
Since carbon footprints and environmental
considerations have come to the forefront of all businesses,
Partnerlink’s concept lends itself to benefit the customer on prices and
its own environmental responsibilities.
The union of the partners not only brings a wealth of industry
experience but the pooling of resources, equipment and technologies
means that Partnerlink can accommodate any customer request.
The partners are allocated freight based on their proximity to
the collection and delivery point and double-decked trailers are used
between the partners. This results in better vehicle utilisation and the
significant reduction of miles that a pallet travels. All of the
vehicles are tracked which enables the operators to have constant
visibility allowing the most appropriately positioned vehicle to be
used.
Our clients have environmental and quality service needs and Partnerlink is positioned to deliver both.
