CitySprint aquires Coventry based Goldstar Couriers

CitySprint, the UK SameDay Courier network, has acquired Coventry based Goldstar Couriers for an undisclosed sum. The deal further strengthens CitySprint’s position in the Midlands following a series of three strategic acquisitions in the region in the last sixteen months. CitySprint already has an established presence with major service centres in Warwick, Birmingham, Telford and Nottingham.

Goldstar Couriers, a family run business, was established in Coventry over 25 years ago and is one of the oldest established courier companies based there. From Monday 1st March 2010 Goldstar will trade as CitySprint, operating from CitySprint’s MidlandsCentre in Warwick. Caroline Davey, current owner of Goldstar Couriers, will remain at CitySprint and several Goldstar Couriers will also be joining the CitySprint team to ensure continuity of service for customers.

Goldstar customers will now have accces to improved collection and delivery times made possible by CitySprint’s national network of 30+ ServiceCentres. They will also have increased visibility over their bookings via CitySprint’s OnLine services. CitySprint claims to operate the largest GPS enabled SameDay fleet in Europe.

Via the CitySprint website www.citysprint.co.uk customers can obtain quotes and book jobs, track the dedicated courier assigned to their job from the point of collection through to delivery. In addition customers automatically receive a time stamped audit trail by email as well as the recipient’s signature which can then be forwarded on as a hyperlink or PDF.
