The firm pledge to be a more tailored delivery service, one which will ask customers when they are in, and apply local area knowledge, in an attempt to avoid those 'sorry we missed you' cards.

Chief executive officer for the courier, Jonathan Smith has said the new venture shows the company is committed to their "ambitions to be a truly customer-focused business, offering a full suite of services".

He added that: "The combined business is already growing faster than the market, and we are excited about our future potential."
