Company Overview
Founded in 1971 by its current Chairman, Peter Kane, and floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1993, Business Post has grown to become one of the largest express delivery companies in the United Kingdom. Today, Business Post has an estimated 8% share of the premium express delivery market, making it the fourth largest operator in the sector.
The group's services are delivered through six clearly defined business units, operating through a UK network of 67 locations and with key strategic alliances for deliveries world-wide. The United Kingdom parcel network is made up of 28 corporately owned and operated sites working alongside 34 franchised sites. Future network growth is planned through an expansion of the franchise network.
In February 2003, Business Post strengthened its courier activities by the acquisition of BXT, a technical courier business active in the IT, medical and utilities sectors. In July 2003, the group acquired an express palletised goods delivery business, subsequently re-branded UK pallets.
