Delivery Solutions (Delsol), part of the APC delivery network, has opened a new 21,000 sq. ft. site in Flintshire to expand its overnight parcel operations.
Situated on Deeside Industrial Park, the new site is one of four within Delsol’s growing business portfolio and is larger than the previous site in Sandycroft.
The new modern, purpose-built site has enabled the business to separate its pallet and parcels division and expand on overnight parcel services across the region, with opportunities for further growth within its pallet, same day and international delivery, warehousing and storage services.
The additional space allows Delsol to meet the increasing demand from local SME businesses for overnight parcel delivery through the nationwide coverage of the APC network.
The opening of this new facility follows continued strong growth for the business, which has recorded a 19% year-on-year increase in overnight parcel volumes, spurred by growing demand for parcel services across north Wales and northwest England.
The business has also invested in increasing its sustainability commitments with the new site, which is powered by solar energy through the use of rooftop panels and also features energy efficient lighting. The company has also introduced four electric forklifts, with further plans to add two electric vehicles to its fleet in the coming months.
Jonathan Smith, chief executive at the APC, said: “Delsol’s continued investment into its business and sustainability initiatives will ensure it is well placed to navigate the continued evolution of our industry; building for future growth, and the growth of customers.”
