Palletways Edinburgh Appoints F&D Commercial Manager

Leading Edinburgh-based logistics provider, Palletways Edinburgh, has strengthened its commercial team with the appointment of Andrew Grant as Sales Manager. Andrew brings over three decades of commercial and leadership experience, having spent 22 years running pubs in London before moving into business development and sales roles within the Food & Drinks sector.  Most recently, he served as Key Account Manager with DX Freight, overseeing five Scottish depots and managing key customer relationships.

In his new role, Andrew will accelerate Palletways Edinburgh's growth ambitions, expanding the customer base, winning new business and supporting the team in delivering top-class service. He said: "After a career in the Food & Drinks sector, I'm excited to bring my commercial expertise and appetite for success to Palletways Edinburgh.  "Logistics may be a different menu, but the principles are the same - understanding your customers, delivering reliably and constantly looking for opportunities to improve and develop.

He continued: "I'm thrilled to join such an exceptional team and build on the depot's strong reputation as we continue to enhance the operation together." Julie Halley, General Manager at Palletways Edinburgh, said: "We're delighted to welcome Andrew to the team. He brings a wealth of commercial experience and a proven track record in developing customer relationships and delivering results. 

"His energy, focus and strategic expertise mean he will be a real asset to the team as we continue to strengthen our operations and move forward to the next chapter of growth."

Palletways owns and operates eight depots that are part of the 130-strong Palletways UK network, which as well as Edinburgh includes London, Cardiff, Bristol, Bournemouth, Milton Keynes, Birmingham and Livingston.

Together they benefit from shared expertise and resources from within the group to deliver palletised goods to market faster and cost-effectively.
