Norbert Dentressangle has been awarded a new contract to manage a second CHEP service centre at Aveley, near Thurrock in Essex, UK, starting in April.

The 7.5 acre Aveley site serves CHEP customers, both in the South East of England and in mainland Europe.

Under the new contract, Norbert Dentressangle will be responsible for the inspection, repair, painting and despatch of around six million pallets per year.

The relationship between the two companies began in 2005, when Norbert Dentressangle was appointed to manage a CHEP service centre in Dunstable. In 2009, Norbert Dentressangle invested more than £4 million in the development of a new purpose-built, environmentally friendly CHEP service centre at Hoddesdon, where more than 90% of the waste generated by the operation is recycled.

As at Hoddeson, Norbert Dentressangle will invest in technology and equipment to deliver environmental and operational benefits at Aveley.
