on tonights program there’s a new dragon called Hilary De-Vay who apparently made her fortune in the haulage industry…anyone know which firm(s) she was/is connected with?
Palletforce
Antos:
Palletforce
Pall-Ex
thanks
Devey made her fortune launching Pall-Ex,and is a majority shareholder in Eddie Stobart Distribution a palletised freight network that has annual revenues of more than £100 million and was influential in the pallet distribution industry within the United Kingdom.
Sorry should have engaged brain before typing 
I’m astonished that you actually managed to post this question here 'cos using the same amount of skills you could easily research her background from publicly available info on the web.
Perhaps if you got her name right, it’s Hilary Devey, & she kick started a company called Pall-Ex.
Unusually for a female member of the Dragons, she wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her gob nor does she hide in front of an excellant chief exec who does all the work.
Whether or not she belongs on prime time TV is a debatable matter, Personally I think she lacks the physical good looks & charisma of even an average TV presenter & I believe she’s only there to feed some false sense she has of her own importance.

Really?
She owns Tesco as well then?
Am I correct in thinking it was her and Pall-Ex that kicked off the pallet distribution networks as we know them now? I.e lots of smaller independent companies working together.

Thanks. More astute people would understand that the post was made to generate a point of discussion rather than just googling it.
Those shoulderpads! Looks like she should be playing linebacker for the Greenbay Packers!
Her face looks like she’s taken some big hits too.

I was under the impression that Pall-Ex was not the first despite their claims - I can’t remember the dates now, but seem to remember that others were around before them e.g Palletline
