Delivery firm wins trio of contracts

Workers at a Barnstaple company have been celebrating after they clinched a hat trick of major new contracts.

Virgin Wines Online – part of the Virgin Group of companies – has picked Amtrak to provide nationwide parcel delivery service.

And almost before the ink had dried on the contract, Amtrak clinched two more deals, first with High Street retailer Laura Ashley and then with the leading household product supplier Kleeneze.

Amtrak’s express parcel’s depot is at Roundswell where franchisees Simon and Lesley Beer said: “It’s the kind of hat trick any business dreams about.

“Express parcel delivery is one of the most fiercely competitive businesses in the UK and to have pulled off a triple like this is a real feather in Amtrak’s cap.”
