Utilising Palletline & Hazchem

Bowker are members of the Palletline & Hazchem networks, and are responsible for a number of regions in the northwest. Utilising these networks extends our dedication and service to the region, further distributing effectively and in a timely manner.

Being a founding member of Hazchem allows us to further strengthen our service in transporting hazardous materials. Our highly trained drivers and specialist equipment allows for the safe transport and handling across the northwest, whilst taking advantage of other specialist members across the UK.

Additionally, Palletline is the only pallet network to hold Amazon's preferred carrier status for inbound deliveries meaning we can deliver pallets to Amazon quickly and efficiently for our customers.
