Prestige deal for Amtrak Express Parcels
Amtrak Express Parcels has broken Parcelforce’s monopoly on home delivery for Comet, with a contract to deliver small electrical items. It will make around 45% of the 7,000 deliveries a day expected in the Christmas peak. “We will do the higher value work,” Amtrak says. Amtrak, backed by 3i, made a (pounds sterling)1.9m pre-tax profit in the year to May 31, against a loss of (pounds sterling)5.5m a year before.
