Business Post launches its own drop-box system

Posted by | Feb 1, 2005 | |

In what could turn out to be a landmark development, Business Post has started marketing its own drop-box system for unattended deliveries. The company is thought to be the first mainstream UK parcels carrier to have taken this step, although others such as Royal Mail have experimented with box systems of various kinds, and Hays had its own extensive network of box banks for deliveries to field staff (it was later sold to ByBox). The Business Post system is based round the Canadian-developed eBox range, for which the company has become the exclusive UK distributor. eBox consists of individual boxes (they come in three sizes), which are placed directly outside the recipient’s business or home. Business Post is targeting both business and consumer markets with the eBox, although business users are initially seen as the prime potential users.

Business Post enters the FTSE 250 Share Index

Posted by | Jan 14, 2005 | |

It was announced by the London Stock Exchange this week that Business Post Group plc has entered the FTSE 250 share index. Business Post’s Chief Executive Officer, Paul Carvell, commented that this marks another major milestone in the continuing development of the Group. “This had been on the cards for some time” he said, “but it came a little earlier than we had expected. The market capitalisation of the Group has grown as a result of recent increases in our share price but we had, in any case, been on the threshold of entry to the index for some months now”. Business Post becomes the only British owned express delivery company to appear in this index, although a number of logistics companies feature within it.
