Thanks jimmy. John Walsh's words ''Dozens'' of companies are using them.
Figures - Wooden pallet costs to make $40, will service 30 trips
Plastic $55 costs to make , will survive more than 100 trips.
So the wooden pallets are over $120 for 100 trips to the plastic of $55
The pallets will be on long lease, with high reoccurring level of revenue.

If you lease pallets (as in GKN Chep) you sign for them and exchange them.

Halifax these will have tracking systems in them as I said to cynic. The wooden ones carried a high levy for non returns.

If this was a new company setting out,I would not touch it with a barge poll. As I have said the operation has been running 6/7 years.

I can't tell you if this is going to be a great buy ,i only know how the pallet system works.
DC as in GKN Chep blue pallets ,someone was usually responsible for missing pallets that had to be paid for.

Is now halifax don't like them along with Blur, Wandisco. Them two have lost me a fortune. :-)). Being serious you can only go on what the top exec of the company puts out. I have good vibes for this one. I will also check the tea leaves tonight, :-))
I will buy on the day they start trading, as said they will be for the long term.

dc we wish you good luck as no doubt initially it will do well as their board and senior management is packed with bankers and accountants but who is going to deliver the operational success of this company? Have you seen their accounts for the past 6/7 years? Investco will be pleased to get this one away.

dc no problem as you know the Board of Directors comprises mainly bankers and accountants(which may or may not be a bad thing), we are finding it difficult to access their financial statements possibly because they appear to be incorporated in Luxembourg?

Chief executive John Walsh said: “Admission will give us the ability to turn a meticulously developed and tested pallet and logistics approach - for which we believe there is a clear demand - into an operation of real scale.”
