Our mission is to develop and deliver innovative, relevant and sustainable logistics solutions for our clients. To do this, we engage with our people and our partners to gain a thorough understanding of our clients’ needs. This approach ensures that we deliver not only on immediate requirements but also on long-term aspirations.
Over recent years, Swift Group of Companies have grown our Logistics Divisions across the UK, meaning we are exceptionally well placed to deliver best-in-class services nationally. We have achieved this growth organically and through careful, strategic acquisition.
Swift was established in Newbury, Berkshire, in 1989. We started the business armed with a passion for express courier, a single motorcycle and a twelve-year-old Transit van; the Group is now one of the largest and most dynamic privately owned immediate deployment operations in the UK. We have a fleet of over 150 vehicles, ranging from a motorcycle to a 7.5 ton tail-lift lorry. Our wider imprint is boosted to over 700 vehicles when including our partner network of associated fleets, to which we have direct and controlling access.
There is, however, much more to the company, as Swift Courier Service is just one of four distinct divisions within the group. Another division, Swift Overnight Services, offers next-day delivery across the UK via our partner network – APC Overnight. With a network of 116 depots, we are proud to offer a level of consistency and success that is unrivalled by the more globally recognised names in the market.
This level of performance has led to APC’s proud reputation as the professional’s premier choice for time-sensitive, assured delivery services. It is, therefore, the ideal partner for Swift’s Courier Services, a mainstay of the Group. In 2013, APC was voted Motor Transport’s Network of the Year.
