Burgoynes has announced it has taken over The APC franchise for HR, GL18 and GL19 postcodes – The APC is the UK’s largest independent parcel delivery network. This marks a significant milestone for the Herefordshire-based business as it introduces overnight parcel delivery to its services, further strengthening its logistics offering for SMEs in the area.

Based in Lyonshall, North Herefordshire, Burgoynes is an employee-owned business with over 114 years of history, first established in 1909. Already a trusted provider of haulage services, warehousing and industrial units, the company will utilise its existing 20,000 sq. ft warehouse to support its parcel service operations, offering comprehensive delivery solutions with fast response times and efficient last-mile delivery for its local SME customers.

The decision to join The APC network reflects the increasing demand for reliable next-day parcel services in the region and Burgoynes commitment to supporting local businesses with flexible and responsive logistics solutions. By leveraging The APC’s nationwide reach, Burgoynes is now well-positioned to help local businesses connect with new customers across the country.

Debbie Spencer, Depot Principal at Burgoynes, commented: "Burgoynes has been a trusted name in Herefordshire for over a century and we are incredibly proud to be expanding our services with The APC. We’ve always prioritised strong relationships with our customers and the introduction of our parcel division means we can now offer them a truly integrated logistics solution. The APC’s commitment to exceptional service and supporting SMEs around the country aligns perfectly with our values and we’re excited to see how this partnership will help us support even more local businesses.”

Already a key local employer with 23 employees, Burgoynes has expanded its team to support this growth. As part of this expansion, the delivery firm has appointed Charlie Mason as Parcels Manager to oversee the firm’s parcel operations. In this role, Charlie will lead the new parcel division and manage a newly recruited team of five dedicated to operations and customer service for the parcels division.

Jonathan Smith, Chief Executive at The APC, commented: "We are thrilled to welcome Burgoynes to The APC. The business’ long-standing reputation, strong local presence and commitment to service excellence and SME support make them an invaluable addition to our network. Burgoynes expansion into next-day delivery demonstrates its ongoing commitment to being an all-encompassing solution for customers and the team’s dedication to quality and customer service aligns perfectly with The APC’s values. We look forward to working together to enhance delivery services for local SME businesses across the region.”
