Ballymena-based TST Group is making strategic strides in the logistics sector by initiating a recruitment drive for its new Northern Irish operations. The company seeks to bolster its workforce with 15 new employees, comprising 10 HGV drivers, two forklift drivers, and three administrative staff, to support its expanding business needs.
To accommodate the increased demand, TST Group enhances its fleet with the acquisition of 40 trailers and 20 new lorries. This expansion is crucial as the company’s capability to handle pallets is projected to grow from 500 to 800 per day. This move underscores TST Group’s commitment to scaling its operations in alignment with the needs of its clientele.
Liam Reid, the CEO of TST Group, sheds light on the evolving logistics landscape, stating that the company is now facilitating more single pallet movements from Northern Ireland to the UK. This logistical shift is attributed to the growing preference for nightly shipments rather than waiting to collate full loads, thereby boosting the company’s Pallet-Track membership and recruitment across various sectors of the business.
While expanding its fleet, TST Group remains devoted to integrating technological advancements and innovations within its operations. This approach not only modernises their fleet but also ensures their capacity to efficiently tackle numerous logistics challenges, thus enabling consistent and reliable service delivery to their expanding customer base in both Ballymena and Birmingham.
Pallet-Track’s CEO, Stuart Godman, appreciates the strategic alliance with TST Group, acknowledging the latter’s robust track record in logistics. Godman expresses confidence in the partnership’s potential to extend Pallet-Track’s service efficiency in Northern Ireland, thereby contributing to the network’s continued growth and success.
