ABOUT US

The People Behind PSE

Committed to the growth of reusable packaging across the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands.

Our Story

Founded on the belief that logistics should be sustainable, Packaging Services Europe Ltd was established to bridge the gap between durable packaging and efficient reuse. We realised that while businesses wanted to move away from single-use cardboard and wooden crates/pallets to reduce waste, maintaining the hygiene and quality of reusable transit packaging (RTP) was a challenge. We stepped in to provide professional washing, inspection, and repair services for plastic crates, pallets, and containers, allowing our customers to focus on their core business while we handle the servicing of their packaging.

Our Mission

To empower companies to build a circular supply chain by ensuring their returnable packaging is clean, safe, and ready for use time and time again. We believe that sustainable logistics—constantly cycling your RTP—uses significantly fewer resources than recycling, protecting both your goods and the planet.

Why Choose Us

Uncompromising Hygiene:

We use industrial, automated and manual power washing systems that ensure your equipment meets the highest standards of cleanliness.

Sustainability & Circularity:

By extending the life of packaging materials and reducing waste, we help you lower your environmental footprint.

Efficiency & Cost Savings:

Returnable packaging can be used for years rather than days. Our washing service keeps your logistics moving smoothly, reducing the need for new packaging purchases.

Repairs & Maintenance:

We don’t just wash; we inspect and repair damaged items to extend their serviceable life and ensure they remain safe and functional.

Our Commitment to the Environment

Returnable packaging, when managed properly, is the cornerstone of a modern supply chain. Our operations help eliminate single-use plastics and packaging from landfills, promoting a truly circular economy.

Founded in 2016 by Andrew Parkinson and Jane Gorick, who with their combined many years’ experience in industrial cleaning solutions and transit packaging pooling provided the commercial and operational drive to quickly establish the company as a key player in this emerging market. Packaging Services Europe Ltd has gone on to grow year on year and now operates across three countries ensuring assets are returned to the supply chain quickly, maximising asset utilisation and enabling the transition from one trip to multi trip packaging.

Julie Parkinson

I’ve been working in the supply chain for 30 years for the leading transit packaging manufacturers and pallet poolers. This has provided invaluable insight into the opportunity that reusable transit packaging provides, especially given demands on sustainability. Asset utilisation and longevity are key to making it commercially viable, but are not the only things to consider. Controlling transport costs, by reducing the 'product miles' that your reusable packaging is to be shipped to ensure optimum utilisation is equally important and that’s why our network is important. These are the drivers behind PSE.

Andrew Parkinson

My background is in the design, installation and maintenance of industrial cleaning equipment. With a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, lean manufacturing and project management, I am focused on optimising wash machine efficiency. This means I effectively tailor wash solutions to meet the very specific needs customers have for their sector and business. Commercially I am focused on ensuring assets are returned to the supply chain quickly, maximising asset utilisation and enabling the move from one trip to multi trip packaging.
