Gary West, CEO at CitySprint, commented:

Sterling Service’s same day team clearly share our values and ethos; they are experienced same day delivery providers and firm believers in excellent customer service. As a valued supplier to local businesses in Leeds, we are delighted to welcome this part of their business to the CitySprint family. We’ll be working hard to ensure that it’s ‘business as usual’ for customers in Leeds and beyond.

With more than twenty years of experience, Sterling Services provides same day delivery courier services, haulage and retail installation services to companies throughout the UK and Europe. CitySprint have acquired the same day division of the business, along with eleven Sterling Services colleagues to ensure a seamless transition for their customers. Local customer contact details will remain the same.

This adds to CitySprint regional network of 30+ service centres across the UK, including a presence in Leeds, with a fleet of over 5,000 vehicles, including vans, motorbikes, and low emission vehicles such as cargo bikes. It provides delivery services directly to individuals, as well as to businesses in every part of the company, and its unique national same day delivery network can reach over 88% of mainland UK within 60 minutes.

The move supports CitySprint’s ongoing growth in light of continued rising demand for same day delivery, and helps it deliver on its strategy of providing great service to customers at a local level. The deal will give Sterling Service’s customers access to CitySprint’s unrivalled service offer through a wider range of courier and logistics solutions, and an increased on-the-ground presence to help local businesses grow.
