With the festive season upon us and 2016 coming to a close, many of us will be reflecting back on the events of the last 12 months with mixed emotions.

This week, our work in partnership with BBC Procurement has been recognised at the Supply Chain Excellence Awards 2016, winning a first-place gong in the Sourcing & Procurement category.

Last month CitySprint Healthcare attended the biggest annual event in a pharmacist’s calendar – The National Pharmacy Show.

I'm proud to announce that we have been ranked as number 186 of the UK's 250 mid market companies with the biggest sales.

Earlier this year we introduced a quarterly employee awards programme to recognise the dedication, commitment and passion individuals display in their day to day activities to support their colleagues and deliver exceptional customer service.

It is gratifying when other organisations recognise your hard work and success. And at CitySprint we’re happily in the midst of a run of award nominations.

I believe one of the most important aspects of leadership is multitasking: the capacity to keep one eye on the present and the other on the future.

With the general commercial and retail landscapes rapidly evolving at a pace never experienced in recent times through digitisation, companies have to adapt. Far from viewing this as a threat, I see tremendous opportunity.

The festive season is upon us and whilst it is a very busy time of year for both us and our customers, as always it brings into sharp focus the need to help those that are less fortunate than us.

The festive period is always a busy time at CitySprint, but the announcement of City Link’s collapse on Christmas Day led to an extra surge of activity, as clients looked for immediate support with scheduled logistics and sought new distribution partners.
