CitySprint announces Axa courier purchase
CitySprint has announced that it has agreed to acquire rival Axa Courier Express.
The deal will see the UK’s largest privately owned same day Courier network discontinue the Axa Courier Express name and brand.
CitySprint, which already owns a seven per cent share of Britain’s same day courier market, claims that the purchase will help to strengthen its position in the sector.
Michael Blanchard, CitySprint regional manager, commented: “Axa represents one of a small number of well-established SameDay courier companies in the Heathrow area.
“Its business model fits very comfortably with CitySprint’s, as it operates with a highly focused customer service ethos.”
Axa currently offers a range of same day courier services to companies in and around the Heathrow area.
