What is the name of the British palletised freight network founded by Dragon Hilary Devey?

The story behind the answer

Pall-Ex is the British palletised freight network founded by Dragon Hilary Devey.

Devey founded Pall-Ex in 1996 after identifying a need for a shared network that could move palletised freight efficiently. The company operates through independent transport businesses working within a coordinated distribution system.

Palletised freight is goods loaded onto pallets for handling and transport. A network model allows regional hauliers to exchange freight through hubs rather than requiring one carrier to operate every route directly.

Pall-Ex is often confused with other logistics businesses because the UK freight sector includes several pallet networks with similar names. The exact stylisation is Pall-Ex, with a hyphen and capital letters. Devey's later television role made the company part of her public biography, but the business was established years before her Dragon's Den appearances.
