VonLOGISTIK express Presseservice

Polyco Healthline has hired an additional four trucks from Narrow Aisle to support increased demand from the NHS for its Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).

Polyco, which has a distribution centre near Peterborough, has used a fleet of Flexi VNA warehouse trucks for over 14 years.

Steve McCarthy, logistics manager at Polyco said that hiring additional Flexis for its fleet would be of “significant help” as it scales up supply to meet the needs of the NHS.

“As Flexi provide all of our handling needs, we do not need to source additional materials handling equipment from elsewhere.”

Narrow Aisle MD John Maguire, said: “We are particularly glad to support our customer Polyco Healthline in meeting this essential need under such exceptional circumstances.

“We would also like to thank our team at the Tipton factory for their amazing response to the crisis and helping deliver these and other customers in the retail supply chain with mission-critical equipment.”
