Pall-Ex is the freight-distribution company associated with Dragons' Den investor Hilary Devey. The company operates a network for moving palletised freight and is central to Devey's business biography.
Devey founded Pall-Ex in 1996 after working in the transport and logistics sector. Its network approach connected independent haulage companies, allowing palletised consignments to be collected, consolidated and delivered through coordinated distribution arrangements.
Devey's business background later led to her appearance as an investor on Dragons' Den. Viewers sometimes associate her primarily with television, but Pall-Ex was the company that made her a prominent entrepreneur before her broadcasting career.
Pall-Ex is distinct from major parcel and logistics brands such as FedEx, TNT Express and Eddie Stobart. Those companies have separate origins and corporate histories, even though all operate within the broad transport industry.
