The client

Palletways is Europe’s largest pallet delivery network. With over 400 depots positioned across 20 countries, and a UK head office based in Staffordshire, they are unrivalled in their ability to connect business around Europe.

Palletways networks deliver up to 40,000 pallets every day with the help of over 400 partner network members. They combine resources and connections to ensure goods are delivered fast and efficiently, leaving their customers to focus on growth and management.

With industry leading customer satisfaction levels, Palletways are the pallet delivery partner of choice for hundreds of businesses across Europe, with the aim of becoming the leading international pallet delivery network service provider.

In addition to first class deliveries, the business is dedicated to eradicating smuggling and people trafficking. Using a comprehensive range of measures for all consignments, including vehicle scanning and sniffer dogs, Palletways management work closely with the relevant authorities to ensure all laws are upheld and security is maintained to protect network members and customers alike.

The relationship

With a firm eye on continuing growth, Palletways approached Heathcote Recruitment Group (formerly ESA Group) to partner with them on recruiting for two roles – a Digital Marketing Executive and a Digital Marketing & Social Media Co-Ordinator - which were created to help promote the brand into the future. With a demanding network of members, it is crucial that Palletways provide excellent support and customer service to its stakeholders by delivering high quality research, events and reporting services.

The focus was to find candidates who were a good fit for the business, and who had at least 2-3 years relevant experience in B2B marketing, preferably in a services or manufacturing industry. Although the marketing roles were fairly generic, potential candidates would need excellent organisational skills, be able to commute to Staffordshire, and have knowledge of a similar sector.

The result

Our senior consultants built a great relationship with Palletways management to get a good understanding on the customer’s requirements and culture.

We are pleased to have placed happy candidates to the business for both vacancies within six weeks and are looking forward to working with them again in the future.
