Supplying over three million wooden pallets annually, Glasby Pallets are a family-run business based in Rotherham. We have grown to be one of the UK’s leading reconditioned Pallet Dealers. It was crucial for us to invest in the industry’s leading equipment that would allow us to maximise our operations. With the addition of our new Freespan Curtainsiders, we will be able to meet the requirements of our customers and continue to provide them with the excellent customer service that they have come to expect from Glasby Pallets.”
