British same-day provider CitySprint is continuing to expand its regional network this year with
the takeover of Northampton-based same-day courier firm Crisis Courier Solutions Ltd.
Founded in 2004, Crisis Courier Solutions is a leading courier company in Northamptonshire, in
central England, offering same day, next day, international and specialist courier services.
CitySprint stressed that the merger, announced yesterday, will give Crisis Courier Solutions’
customers access to its network of 3,000 couriers, which can reach 87% of the UK mainland
population in less than one hour.
As part of the acquisition, all employees of Crisis Courier Solutions will transfer to
CitySprint, with the Northampton site to become a CitySprint service centre. The local contact
details for Crisis Courier Solutions will remain the same.
CitySprint CEO Patrick Gallagher commented: “This deal represents another growth milestone for
CitySprint, as we continue to improve our reach and access for customers in the UK. This move helps
further consolidate our position as the leading private same day distribution company, and we are
very pleased to welcome Crisis Courier Solutions to CitySprint.”
Helen O’Keeffe, Managing Director of Crisis Courier Solutions, added: “We are extremely pleased
to be joining the CitySprint family, who share our passion and expertise in same day deliveries.
This move means access to new services and a wider reach for our customers and more opportunity for
our staff. We will be working hard to ensure the transition is a smooth and seamless one for our
customers.”
CitySprint offers an extensive portfolio of services including SameDay Courier, SameDay
Logistics, International & UK Overnight courier services. It has a regional network of 40
service centres across the UK with a fleet of over 3,000 vehicles.
