Melon deal and air freight service help PML “ride out coronavirus storm”

Feltham, UK: PML says that its recently launched air freight service, along with a major new contract, have helped it overcome the challenges associated with the coronavirus pandemic.

PML has clinched a deal with International Procurement and Logistics, Asda’s produce-buying arm.

The work involves transporting and storing melons, which arrive from Spain, in temperature-controlled warehousing and then transporting the orders to International Procurement and Logistics’s regional distribution centres.

Nick Finbow, sales director, PML, (pictured above) said: “Looking ahead, our recently launched in-house charter air freight service will play a key role in helping us ride out not only the coronavirus storm but also the anticipated disruptions and new restrictions associated with Brexit.

“We are well placed to provide our customers with access to the very best supply chain routes, including additional specialist expertise in identifying the optimum air trade lanes to ensure a timely, seamless and methodically controlled transfer of temperature-controlled cargo”.
