CitySprint has today entered into an agreement to acquire Lewis Day’s UK courier operations, building on its position as the UK’s leading sameday courier and distribution network. The integration will take place over the coming months.  As part of the deal, Addison Lee will acquire Lewis Day’s passenger car operations.

Lewis Day is one of the UK’s most successful passenger car and same day delivery courier firms with an extensive fleet, 17 nationwide offices and tried and trusted international partners. 

The addition of Lewis Day’s courier fleet will support CitySprint’s growth as the UK’s largest SameDay logistics provider and it follows the integration of three regional businesses earlier in the year.  CitySprint’s new combined operations will comprise:

• over 2,000 couriers
• 35 ServiceCentres
• approximately 15,000 transactions per day 

Patrick Gallagher, Chief Executive of CitySprint commented: “Today’s acquisition is a major milestone in our strategy of adding further scale and reach to our national business. We will quickly integrate the new fleet into our existing operations and will be deploying our market leading technology such as real-time GPS tracking and online booking to enhance the service to clients.”

Our CEO Patrick Gallagher shares his view on this acquisition and what this means to CitySprint and Lewis Day customers.
