Home Delivery Network Limited wins Home Delivery Company of the Year Award 2007

Home Delivery Network Limited, the UK's largest dedicated home delivery and collection service, has won the Institute of Transport Management's coveted 'Home Delivery Company of the year Award 2007.' The award was granted following an extensive research program into the area of home delivery and distribution services, conducted by the Institute's Transport Management's research team. "This is a great achievement for us to receive such recognition as a major operator within the home delivery and fulfilment market, just one year after our launch," said Walter Blackwood, Managing Director of Home Delivery Network Limited. "Our strategy is to create the best doorstep delivery experience for the major retailers we represent and I would like to thank everyone for their support and contribution over the last year to help make this happen." With the home delivery market expected to grow to 400 million parcels a year by 2010, competition is intensifying within the industry, with more and more companies entering the market. The Institute of Transport Management believes that to be successful in this market companies need to diversify their service offering to meet customer's growing demand. Patrick Sheedy, Media & PR Director for the Institute added: "The onus is on the delivery company to deliver a fully-integrated, third-party home delivery solution, with comprehensive customer service, in order to build business through loyalty and customer satisfaction. Recognising and responding to new market demands has ensured Home Delivery Network Limited is ahead of its competitors, making them a deserving winner of this award." In the first twelve months of operation, Home Delivery Network Limited has signed up over 50 new clients and now delivers for four out of the five most used home delivery retailers in the UK. The growth of the company is set to continue with a significant investment programme in progress.
