Growth Target As Moody Signs With Fortec

Northeast operator Moody Logistics said being chosen by Fortec to distribute goods in its area would boost its palletised delivery business by 20%, writes Chris Tindall.

The haulier will collect freight from Fortec’s East Midland’s hub and hopes to secure additional goods for the southbound leg of the journey, and the Cramlington-based family business has already taken on two new HGV drivers in anticipation of the growth in volumes.

The haulier was appointed partly due to its relationship with Pall-Ex Group, which acquired Fortec in 2020. Pall-Ex Group MD Barry Byers said: “It is a fantastic opportunity for Fortec and Moody Logistics to work closely to benefit from growth in the area and we are looking forward to seeing the positive effect this will have on the network.”

The MD of Moody Logistics Caroline Moody said: “This partnership represents an important growth opportunity for Moody’s, representing a 20% increase in our palletised deliveries. Our goal remains to reduce any empty miles by generating more freight from the northeast for the return journey to Fortec’s distribution hub that will further boost the revenue potential.”
