P2P expanding Heathrow hub
P2P Group, the mailing and distribution solutions provider, has announced that it is expanding its hub near London Heathrow airport. The company said that the expansion, which will take place “in the coming weeks”, will mean the hub will be able to handle about 95% of P2P’s total volumes worldwide.
The facility has been operational for several months and facilitates the management and direct despatch of mail and parcels worldwide.
The hub includes x-ray capabilities to prepare mail and parcels enabling direct hand-over to airlines to be flown across the world.
P2P said that the facility has decreased the company’s reliance on intermediaries, thereby giving greater control and visibility over how parcels are routed as well as direct management over the quality of service and speed of delivery.
Paul Galpin, Managing Director of P2P Mailing, commented: “Our hub builds on P2P’s ethos of independence and impartiality.
“By freeing us from the involvement of intermediary partners in the supply chain, and giving us extended control over the delivery process, the hub enables us to offer improved quality and transit times to our retailers, which of course are benefits that improve the consumer experience.”
