The Delivery Group reports £200m sales for 2016
The Delivery Group has announced annual sales of £200m for 2016. This represented a 61% increase on the £124.1m achieved in 2015.
In October, The Delivery Group, which comprises post and parcel businesses Secured Mail and CMS Network, joined forces with international e-commerce specialist P2P Mailing – which will boost its revenues.
In a statement sent to Post&Parcel today (14 February), The Delivery Group said it is now forecasting “another significant year of growth to a turnover of £235million in 2017”.
The Group said that – “despite difficult market conditions triggered by Britain’s decision to leave the EU” – it “managed to buck market trends, handling over 500 million items of mail, with international mail and e-commerce services being the most significant growth areas”.
The Delivery Group Chairman Paul Carvell commented: “Joining forces with P2P Mailing has been a major coup for the Group and one that enables us to offer our 850-strong client base a truly holistic e-commerce and specialist mail delivery service. The influence of e-commerce on the future of distribution cannot be underestimated; last year alone it contributed £133 billion to UK GDP, and this acquisition now makes us the provider of choice for specialist mail deliveries and domestic and international e-commerce.”
