“Our capacity to support organisations through change, combined with our extensive experience in the transport, haulage and distribution sectors, means we can draw on our collective insight to provide the best solutions for both Pall-Ex Group and its growing network of members,” said Damian Silverman, client director at Marsh Commercial.

Meanwhile, Kevin Buchanan, chief executive officer of Pall-Ex Group, said that his company’s “long-standing relationship” with Marsh Commercial made them the “ideal fit when it came to group insurance and ensuring the safety and compliance of our growing Pall-Ex Group membership.”

“As we look to further grow into the business-to-consumer (B2C) market, we need to ensure the safety of our members, our network of incredible drivers, and the end customers,” said Buchanan. “B2C deliveries offer their own set of challenges but with Marsh’s expertise within the sector I know we can work together and provide a quality, efficient, and safe insurance and risk solution to our entire membership.”
