Premier Logistics has announced that it is set to partner with Market Harborough's food specialist the Blueberry Group on an initial 18-month contract. 

This will see Premier taking sole responsibility for Blueberry's domestic palletised freight distribution - and the majority of these consignments will be routed through the Pall-Ex network, HGV UK reports. 

Sales director at Premier Logistics Mark Steel said his company has made a very strong start to the year with several new contract wins - and this latest development represents an extension of that positive performance. 

"The Blueberry Group is a very professional outfit, making the two businesses a great fit," he commented, adding that his firm carries large quantities of "ambient food produce for existing customers - and our fast moving consumer goods business continues to grow".

Over 120 trucks and trailers are operated by Premier, which is based in Bardon, Leicestershire, and recently celebrated ten years in business.
