A year in review: a cool year for Courier Express

Courier Express 2017 review new vans

As we approach the festive season and the end of 2017, it’s great to take a look back at what has been a hugely successful year for Courier Express Limited. Here are just some of the highlights…

Fleet investment

We started the year as we meant to go on, by significantly expanding our refrigerated fleet by investing £350,000 in eight state-of-the-art vehicles.

The new 3.5t dual temperature vehicles – all fitted with SmartCam dashboard cameras and advanced on-board temperature recording devices – allow the flexibility to make both frozen and chilled deliveries, and enabled us to improve our courier operations, while at the same time expanding further into the south of England. More on that later!

New Midlands hub

Our continuous ambition to offer a truly nationwide refrigerated transport solution led us to launch a new regional hub in the Midlands in 2017.

Our Midlands site allowed us to significantly increase operations across the region and provide greater capacity for deliveries, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. From the hub, we now offer same day and next day product sample deliveries, as well as foodservice multi-drop, chilled, frozen, ambient and multi-temperature deliveries across the region.

London’s calling

The Midlands was not the only new regional site we opened in 2017. Due to continued success in the capital, and the recruitment of new drivers, we also significantly expanded our refrigerated courier services in London and the South.

Our new capital-based facility is the fifth hub we have invested in, with Courier Express now running regional sites in London, Manchester, Derby, Leeds and the Midlands.

A strong case for success

Throughout the year we provided bespoke refrigerated logistics solutions and temperature controlled courier services for a growing number of customers. From delivering micro-snacking products for Kepak, to confectionary delights for Gü Puds and fresh dairy products for Danone and so much more, our state-of-the-art vehicle remained busy throughout the year.

To all our customers and partners, many thanks for your custom, we have really enjoyed working with you in 2017. We hope you have a great festive season and look forward to seeing you next year!
