ADDISON LEE HAS BECOME THE COURIER OF CHOICE FOR THE FASTEST LAST MILE

Addison Lee’s courier service grew by 17% in 2015, the increase in demand has been underpinned by the business being the quickest and most reliable courier in London, combined with being the partner of choice for same day deliveries.

Customers know that we have the most professional team from the drivers to the dedicated control room.’

Catherine Faiers, Addison Lee Chief Operating Officer, said: ‘The so-called fastest last mile deliveries are a real growth area for us.  Many customers are demanding items within the hour whether it’s from eBay or Burberry and trust us because we won’t let them down. This together with the growth in work from both corporate and consumer clients mean that we expect to double in size within two years.’
