New eye-catching curtains on 18-tonne Royale Stones truck are a real draw on Birmingham’s roads

Palletways UK has teamed up with Royale Stones, a leading home and garden supplier of high-quality paving, tiling and bathroom products, to invest in a new livery for one of its Birmingham-based vehicles. The eye-catching 18-ton rigid vehicle features new curtains showcasing the company logo alongside pictures of their bespoke paving and bathroom installations. With showrooms in Watford, Peterborough and Lincoln – and a recently expanded store in Minworth near Birmingham – Royale Stones serves tradespeople and delivers direct to consumers.

The bright blue-sided vehicle highlights the deepening relationship between Palletways and Royale Stones as it travels throughout Birmingham delivering products including Indian Sandstone, terrazzo, porcelain and granite paving and onyx, ceramic and porcelain bathroom tiles. Steve Waterhouse, Palletways (Network) Business Development Manager, said: “This is a stunning vehicle and we are delighted to support Royale Stones in this project to showcase their brand and the unique products they offer. “We move around 40 pallets a day for Royale Stones and offer a warehousing, pick, pack and dispatch service for their faster-moving lines and can respond quickly to seasonal peaks to ensure Royale Stones always meets customer demand.”

Steve Saunders, Operations Director for Royale Stones, said: “As a family run business, we pride ourselves in offering custom-made solutions to suit all budgets and styles and we are delighted that this vehicle showcases our paving and bathroom tiles so well. “We have built up a great relationship with Palletways UK since joining the network and our partnership ensures that we can continue offering exceptional customer service, safe in the knowledge that the deliveries are carried out to an extremely high standard.” Palletways UK collects paving stones and indoor tile products daily from the retailer’s main site in Lincoln and transports them to customers through Palletways’ hubs in the Midlands and the South East.

Products for its bigger volume lines are stored at Palletways’ national hub, whilst a warehousing, pick, pack and despatch service operates across a restricted range of its faster moving lines.

Palletways moves a full load a day, on average around 40 pallets – to tradespeople and consumers – with the flexibility to scale up if required.
