APC Overnight boosts UK parcel network with expansion in Essex
APC Overnight has boosted its nationwide parcel services with further expansion of its network by launching a new depot covering the Chelmsford area of Essex.
Now the largest UK network with 125 depots, APC Overnight has appointed its highly successful Ipswich agent Rapid Dispatch to run the new Chelmsford operation. Rapid has quadrupled APC Overnight business in Ipswich and expects to triple the Essex business within the first year.
APC Overnight said that it continues to grow year-on-year thanks to exceptional service levels underpinned with unrivalled delivery performance that sees over 99.8 pct of parcels delivered on time. To support the growth, the company has recently expanded its National Sortation Centre in the Midlands and opened a dedicated hub in Scotland.
“With the success of APC Overnight nationally, we see tremendous potential for growth in the Chelmsford area,” says Richard Procter, Sales Manager of APC agent Rapid Dispatch. “As we have experienced in Ipswich, APC Overnight provides a real service edge over other carriers. Having local support and such good on-time delivery performance are key factors and APC Overnight’s innovative online services with live tracking are proving a bit hit with new customers.”
The new depot will cover the region incorporating Chelmsford, Braintree, Witham and Maldon, which will offer employment opportunities locally. “With the growth of APC Overnight in Ipswich, we know we will be employing a high pedigree management team backed with proven experience and enthusiasm to capitalise on the untapped potential in the Chelmsford area,” comments APC Overnight Marketing Director Jon Barber.
