Celtic Couriers takes pole position in regional awards

Burry Port courier company Celtic Couriers Ltd has fought off stiff competition to be crowned South West Depot of the Year 2012.

Part of the APC Overnight network, which consists of 115 depots across the UK, Celtic Couriers Ltd was identified as the best performing company in

2012 – fending off competition from more than 17 contenders throughout the South West.

Accepting the award from Olympic medallist Kriss Akabusi at a glittering awards ceremony held at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham, Depot Principal Gail Skinner said: “This is a fantastic result and the perfect way to end a really successful year.

“Since founding the business in 1989 and joining the APC Overnight network in 1994, the business has gone from strength to strength.

“We have a really strong group of local customers. We know that, for them, our ability to offer next day delivery throughout the UK from our base in Burry Port is a key advantage.

“We’re now hoping to make 2013 even more successful for the business than last year.”

More than 500 people in the APC Overnight network saw the Celtic Couriers team collect the trophy, as part of the company’s All Depot Meeting 2013.

Steve Cornwell, the Head of Network at APC Overnight, said: “Celtic Couriers Ltd maintained incredibly high customer satisfaction levels and a phenomenal delivery success record throughout 2012.

“As an overnight courier company with a reputation for excellence in customer service, we need our depots to reflect these values – which is exactly what Celtic Couriers does – day in, day out.’”
