Which Dragon's Den investor founded the logistics network Pall-Ex?

The story behind the answer

Dragon's Den investor Hilary Devey founded the logistics network Pall-Ex.

Pall-Ex is a freight and logistics network built around the distribution of palletised goods. Devey founded the company in the 1990s after identifying a need for a coordinated system that could move individual pallets efficiently through a network of transport operators.

Her success with Pall-Ex formed the basis of her reputation as a business leader before she joined Dragon's Den. The company is not simply a haulage firm owned by one carrier; its network model links independent transport businesses under a shared distribution system.

Pall-Ex is sometimes confused with the parcel-delivery companies familiar to household consumers. Its original specialism was palletised freight and business logistics, which made it a distinctive achievement in Devey's entrepreneurial career.
