UK’s APC Overnight expands ecommerce fulfilment capacity
British next-day delivery network APC Overnight has expanded its operations in northern England, with a new warehousing and distribution facility in South Yorkshire. The new 40,000 square foot facility in Rotherham will allow the network’s local depot, APC Courier Logistics, to offer “cutting edge” virtual warehousing services for e-commerce companies.
This will include storage as well as picking, packing and despatching services, as well as complete fulfilment offering, said APC Overnight.
The depot in question has been celebrating its 18th year of operation, with its 100 employees now achieving a GBP10m turnover.
NIck Cusworth, managing director of APC Courier Logistics, said: “The new Rotherham site opens up new opportunities for APC Overnight services to local and regional businesses.
