APC Overnight, the UK's largest next day parcel delivery
network, has presented its top performing depot partners with
special awards for "above and beyond" service performance
throughout the past year. More than 120 depots took part in the
largest competition of its kind, with the awards presented at the
company's annual event held at Cheshford Grange Hotel,
Kenilworth.
The Annual Development Award went to APC CS Couriers Hereford.
The depot recently moved to a new 3500 square ft, boosting APC's
service capability for Herefordshire. The family-owned and managed
distribution centre joined the APC Overnight network in 2008 and
business has grown rapidly for next-day deliveries.
The Overall Award was presented to APC Celtic Couriers
recognising the depot's solid performance and commitment to
customer service excellence. This is the ultimate award presented
to an APC partner and is one of a string of earlier awards won by
the Burry Port based depot.
Regional Awards went to APC Thistle Couriers in Aberdeen,
Leyland-based APC ABC, APC Derby Express Couriers in Derby,
Norfolk-based APC Team C Express Logistics, Ramsgate depot APC East
Kent, APC Beatties Distribution Services in Antrim, and APC Hart
Distribution in Penrith. APC Celtic Couriers also topped off its
big win with a Regional Award.
The awards involve all the APC Overnight partners. The depots
vote for the three most outstanding depots within their own
regions. Those with the highest number of votes then enter the
national competition. The votes consider how depots have supported
one another throughout the year to provide consistent and excellent
customer service. The votes are collected and counted at APC
Overnight's HQ in Wolverhampton and the winner held secret until
the annual event.
"These are important awards for APC Overnight members and
recognise their above and beyond commitment to service excellence.
They reflect how hard depots work together to support each other
within a customer focused, tightly knit and cooperative network of
likeminded local delivery specialists. This dedicated approach
allows APC Overnight to provide a seamless collection to delivery
service for our customers throughout the UK," said Ivor Skinner,
APC Overnight MD.
