Notes to Editors:

Business Direct Group is divided into three separate but complimentary divisions.

In-night division, which incorporates ParcelXchange, intelligent locker distribution system, and an in-boot service, where deliveries from as far afield as continental Europe are made through the night to engineers vehicles.

In addition to traditional same-day and next-day courier activities and warehousing facilities, Specialist division also provides time-specific two-man delivery solutions and technical plug and play services.

Finally, Business Direct has realised the unlimited potential of the ParcelXchange solution and formed a Global Licensing division to market this unique product on a worldwide basis.
