RFT
Express Couriers specialise in the delivery
of Hanging Garments primarily in the UK and Europe, using
long wheel base panel vans capable of carrying up to 2,000 garments
a time. We collect from manufacturers and deliver to central warehouses
and distribution centres.
It doesn’t stop there; the major share of the distribution
network is multi-dropping to shops and stores, primarily in the
UK, and increasingly in Europe. We have also seen an increase
in the collection of bespoke garments from multi national manufacturers
in Eastern Europe, delivering to their UK stores and their clients.
This matches the growth in the UK ‘Bespoke Garment Hire’
industry.
Our core business has always pallet deliveries, principally in
the print and machine part sectors. In 2006 RFT Express re-branded
with the introduction of the “M1 Shuttle”. To help
RFT Express with the anticipated expansion this innovative solution
to the single pallet delivery, The Yorkshire Courier was appointed
as the preferred contractor.
The
Yorkshire Courier: Integrated into the RFT Express Family
The
Yorkshire Courier was founded in 1999, focusing on high volume
national and international clients, with multiple depots across
the UK and Europe. Their goal was to achieve a success rate of
at least 75% of their vehicles having a return load.
Apart from the benefit of reducing carbon emissions, the return
load strategy was an important function in maintaining their very
competitive price of £1 a mile from base to anywhere in
the UK and Europe. They still maintain the same pricing structure
today, £1 a mile from base to the whole of the UK and the
EEEC.
In 2006 The Yorkshire Courier was the preferred contractor to
operate the innovative M1
Shuttle on behalf of RFT Express. With the slogan “Save
Money-Save The Planet” the M1 Shuttle was oversubscribed
within weeks of it being launched.
It was at this point we agreed to take on
Couriers for Yorkshire as a subcontractor for the M1 Shuttle.
Couriers
in Yorkshire: Integrated into the RFT Express Family
Couriers Yorkshire will now take over full
responsibility for the running, and expansion the “M1 Shuttle”.
With the acquisition of The Yorkshire Courier and Couriers in
Yorkshire comes an increased client base, and a larger pool of
vehicles. This will help to take some of the pressure of the RFT
Express Bulk Parcel deliveries and cut costs for our clients.
More
Benefits for RFT and our Clients.
With the increased expertise on all levels
that these two companies bring to RFT Express will help to sustain
the planned growth of RFT Express. In return both companies will
benefit from increased resources and the strong RFT Express brand.
Clients will benefit from reduced costs, and quicker response
times, which is important during the ‘recovery’ phase
the country is going through.
