Coverage
Export Pallet Supply Across the South Coast
This is the regional view of our coastal supply. Everything is supplied from the Southampton operation, running west towards Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Exeter, Plymouth and Cornwall, and east through Chichester, Worthing, Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings and into Kent.
Coverage is not uniform across that distance. Hampshire and Dorset sit closest to the Southampton operation; the far west and the eastern end of the coast are worked on planned routes. Every delivery is confirmed against postcode, quantity and date rather than promised against a scheduled route.
Preparing coastal export consignments
Wood packaging requirements have applied on movements between Great Britain and the EU and Switzerland since 1 January 2021, and requirements outside Europe vary by destination. The practical step is to confirm the destination's rules before the pallets are ordered, not after the load is built.
If you are shipping from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, wood packaging requirements apply there too and the arrangements differ from a straightforward GB movement — check the official guidance for your route.

How coastal routing actually works
A coastal run is planned around quantity and distance together. A full load travels well in either direction; a small order at the far end of the coast may need to wait for a route that suits. Tell us the postcode, quantity and date and we will tell you which it is.
Export preparation for port-facing shippers
Southampton, Portsmouth, Poole and the short Kent crossings all carry export traffic with different lead times. The pallet side is the same in each case: destination, specification, treatment requirement, dispatch date.
Marine, food and manufacturing
The coast mixes marine and defence supply chains, food producers and general manufacturing, so we supply a broad spread of sizes and grades rather than one standard pallet.
Collections along the coast
Sites with recurring pallet surplus can move to a booked collection instead of ad-hoc calls, where the volume justifies the journey.
