ADD Express Ltd drives away with national award

A.D.D. Express Ltd

A.D.D. Express Ltd has shifted into top gear after picking up a national award from logistics giant Pall-Ex.

The firm presented A.D.D. Express Ltd - which has depots in Rochdale and Elland - with the Regional Member of the Year (Scotland and North) award at a virtual ceremony, as it celebrated overcoming the challenges of 2020 while looking positively towards the future.

David Fairbrother, Managing Director at A.D.D. Express Ltd said: "Winning this award is testament to the hard work, dedication and tremendous effort our team have shown during very difficult circumstances in 2020.

"In spite of the pandemic, 2020 has been an amazing year for A.D.D. Express; we invested £1.4m in the refurbishment of our new £8 million state of the art distribution facility in Rochdale and relocated our distribution there in October.

"In November we opened and commenced operations of the new Northern Hub for Pall-Ex, supporting the regional members by enabling greater access to the site for those in the North East and optimising the running of Pall-Ex’s Northern Hub for the benefit of the network.

"We are looking forward to celebrating our 30th anniversary in 2021, hopefully by then we will be able to celebrate in something other than the virtual world.

”The event was a significant celebration for Pall-Ex, providing the pallet network with an opportunity to champion all of its staff and the sector, having worked tirelessly as keyworkers throughout the coronavirus pandemic to keep essential supplies on the move."
