CitySprint Blog

It doesn’t seem like that long ago when the streets of London were buzzing with the excitement of the Olympics – now, the anticipation moves to Glasgow as we count down to the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Following on from our annual conference in January, which focused on how we can provide customers with a first class delivery service every time, I am delighted to announce the launch of the CitySprint Promise - our guide to helping us achieve this.

Our Healthcare business took another important step forward today with the announcement of a new optical distribution and delivery service. This will offer optical manufacturers, wholesalers, laboratories and opticians a credible and flexible alternative delivery option to what is currently available.

Some of you may recall a blog I wrote in 2011 called The Acquisition Trial, where I talked about how to prepare for an acquisition process from both a vendor and an acquirer perspective.

The acquisition trail is far from easy. There is a host of research which put the chances of a merger and acquisition success between 50 and 75 percent. Not great odds for the investment in money and time that can go into such business transactions.
