Strategy

The Group remains focused on its core niche growth markets with new contract wins and new product developments across the Group, particularly in light of Covid-19 restrictions which have forced the Group to be innovative and adaptable.

In 2020, the Group has created the UK’s largest cool chain operation supporting the Government’s fight against COVID-19 by supplying COVID-19 test kit collection services supporting a clinical study by IPSOS Mori and Imperial College London.

During 2019, the Group has invested £650,000 in its multi-carrier service platform enabling customer’s choice of products and services in addition to investing just under £1.4M in its core infrastructure. This investment has continued post-year-end with new operational hubs in Bristol and a new super hub/head office in Warrington. The Group also continues its investment in state-of-the-art mail sortation equipment and further investment into electrified vehicles supporting its operations within central London.
