Pall-Ex was the logistics company founded by Dragon's Den investor Hilary Devey.
Pall-Ex is a palletised freight network. Its business model connected independent hauliers so that palletised goods could be collected, transported through a network and delivered efficiently across the country. This approach served companies that needed freight distribution without operating a completely private national fleet.
Hilary Devey built her reputation in transport and logistics before joining the Dragon's Den panel. Her expertise meant that she often evaluated businesses through practical questions about distribution, margins, scale and operational capacity.
Pall-Ex is not the same company as a conventional parcel carrier such as DHL. The distinction is important: Pall-Ex's identity is rooted in palletised freight and a member-based logistics network, while parcel companies generally handle smaller individual consignments.
