Parcelforce Worldwide introduces new export service
Parcelforce Worldwide has launched a new tracked exports service for UK businesses. Global Bulk Direct allows businesses to package multiple overseas deliveries into a single pallet, rather than sending each one separately.
Parcelforce Worldwide said the new service will help customers achieve “significant cost-savings, without compromising on security or losing tracking capability”.
The service allows exporters to send multiple parcels with different addresses in the same country on a single pallet. Each pallet is broken down on arrival, with individual parcels then despatched to their respective addresses.
Parcelforce Worldwide said delivery takes between two and eight days, whilst businesses receive the benefits of priority services such as product tracking and signature on delivery
Simon Batt, international director at Parcelforce Worldwide, said: “We’re continuing to listen to our customers and support their needs as they look to drive their business through increased exports.
“The launch of our Global Bulk Direct product is the latest enhancement to our suite of international offerings, and will now enable us to meet a wider range of international customer delivery needs, further boosting our position as a trusted high-value carrier to UK businesses.”
Parcelforce Worldwide said its membership of the Kahala Postal Group (KPG), a coalition of leading postal providers, has helped to strengthen export services to major destinations across Asia-Pacific, Europe and USA.
Furthermore, the parcel delivery market already plays a key role in driving export growth – ensuring businesses have the tools and logistics to operate overseas.
Sir Andrew Cahn, chief executive of UK Trade & Investment, which advises UK businesses on export success, said: “Exporting is vital to the growth and success of companies. It means companies become more prosperous, competitive and resilient. British businesses and British brands are in demand all over the world. Trading abroad need not be as daunting as it seems and small companies can be more successful than they imagine.”
