Plimsoll Publishing Courier Report
A new analysis of the UK courier industry has been presented in a 515-page report from specialists Plimsoll Publishing.
The report takes the country’s largest 150 operators by turnover and scrutinizes their financial performance over tile last four years. Those businesses account for 91 per cent of the courier sector, up dons 86 per cent four years ago but it is a hard-core 33 that have apparently dominated a resurgence in the market.
One upshot of this, say the findings, is that 91 companies will struggle to keep their business on a firm financial footing, while 26 arc facing financial distress.
The report is priced at £500, but is available to readers of Despath Manger at a discount of five per cent.
