Parcel2go.com, an online parcel delivery service, has defied the economic downturn
and is set to reveal record figures at the end of the financial year. The Bolton-based
business expects turnover to exceed £10m, an increase of over 50 per cent in one
year. Profits are expected to rise by more than 300 per cent to over £1m. The company
has struck up partnerships with leading delivery companies, including FedEx, DHL,
UPS and City Link, and has gained a proportion of its business in bookings to and
from foreign countries, most notably the US, the Far East and Poland.
