City Link expands Sameday operation opening two new centres

05/10/2011

City Link, the UK’s premium express delivery company, has further expanded its Sameday operation with the opening of two new centres in Bristol and Newcastle as customer demand increases.

City Link has identified that its Sameday service offering has significant untapped potential and its development is part of the company’s ongoing strategy to further expand its Sameday operation across the UK. 

With this in mind the company has invested heavily in both developing a new structure and
implementing an IT infrastructure in order to lay the foundations and support its future growth.

Over the past year City Link’s Sameday has enjoyed substantial growth from a wide range of business sectors and now has its sights set on achieving further growth in 2012.

The two new centres complement City Link’s existing Sameday centres and strengthen its service offering to customers. Further new sites are earmarked for the coming year with particular focus being given to outlying areas.

Ian Bolton, Head of Sameday is confident that the Sameday operation within City Link has huge potential.

Ian took over the role earlier this year.  An existing City Link employee, Ian had previously been employed by DHL Sameday as National Operations Manager.

Ian Bolton commented:  “The strength of the City Link brand and reputation for delivering exceptional levels of service coupled with the company’s infrastructure places us in an ideal position to continue to grow our Sameday business.

“The potential is immense.  The foundations we have laid over the past year places us in an ideal position to continue to develop and drive the business forward and reinforce City Link’s market leading position as a premium express delivery company.”
