Bullet Express Logistics, based in Bothwell, has joined Pallex, the number one and fastest growing palletised freight network in the UK.
We’ve done it again. On Friday 4th March 2005 Bullet Express picked up on of Scotland’s top business awards, The Scottish Enterprise Excellence award for E-Commerce. This is our 2nd award this year following our Scottish motor transport award for the same E-Commerce. We are so proud of this particular award as we saw off stiff competition from all over Scotland from many business fields. Over the last year we have been working very hard to simplify our softwear package and improve customer information, this award confirms we are achieving these goals. We hope to have a full paper free system by July 2005 , with pod’s on the web within 5 seconds of the delivery, due to our IN-CAB Net-pads being developed for us at present.
Our canopy extension is now completed giving us an extra
15,000sq ft of covered workspace at Bothwell. This investment of over £90,000 will add to our
working area giving us over 50,000 sq ft .
Over the past year we have been working hard on two fronts which brought this award to the company. The first was our IT system which has allowed us to bring over 50% of our daily bookings on-line. This reduces input time and allows us to move collection and delivery details accurately direct from the customer. All information can be booked on line by customer implant systems or simply through our on-line web page goes straight to the delivery docket ,therefore contact names ,numbers and any special information is on the delivery docket and therefore passed to the delivery driver. A simple user name and unique password allows you in through our web page to a booking screen, where you can also track your jobs throughout the day. As soon as you book the jobs we receive an alert and you will receive an e-mail conformation that we have lifted the job. As we are building our business we are also building the number of pod’s we have to deal with and this is catered for on our web page. A simple password and user name allows you to enter your own docket or reference number and access your pod’s within 24hrs of delivery Below is a photo of the award being handed
to David and Gary from HRH Princess Anne the Princess Royal. The second front is the work and training we put in with the drivers and staff to ensure they are the best with the best equipment and knowledge available to enable them to look after you and represent you as well as you would yourself. The government required a company to help develop a “skills for logistics” booklet for drivers and we were delighted to work with Reid Kerr College to develop a drivers handbook on all aspect of their job. This booklet will now be used as the blueprint for all drivers throughout Scotland. Famous friends at Cash for Kids Each year we support strongly Radio Clyde’s Cash for Kids. This is being collected over the month of November by our drivers and staff so help them out its for all the kids in central Scotland. Our drivers and Staff always come up trumps for the kids. As usual we will make a company contribution on your behalf instead of sending xmas cards which usually end up in the bin and this year that will be £1000. We always attend the lunch and take a selected member of
staff as a reward for the help in the collection, however this
year our table will be joined by the man who holed the winning
put for Great Britain and Europe in the Ryder Cup Mr Ian Poulter. CAMBUSLANG RUGBY CLUB SPONSORSHIP This year David and Gary have put the bullet express name on the rugby shirts of Cambuslang rugby club. David and Gary have an association with the club for over 24 years and were delighted to step in and help the club out this year when asked by club president Ian McWilliams.
