The Delivery Excellence Awards will be announced during the MetaPack Delivery Conference on 4th February in London. Asendia, a joint venture between postal giants La Poste and Swiss Post, which also amalgamates Pitney Bowes IMS UK and BTB Mailflight, has been nominated for the “Best International Initiative”.
The nomination has been made by a panel of leading industry experts, the speakers at the MetaPack Conference and a public vote. The award will go to the carrier who has contributed the most to enabling cross-border trade and delivery worldwide, and will have helped its retail customers to access new markets and shoppers.
Asendia has a growing reputation in the ecommerce, cross-border market across the globe, sending mail and goods to over 220 destinations. The company only completed its merger on 1st January this year.
Asendia UK CEO Frédéric Petton commented: “This is an excellent start. Although the legacy companies have been significant players in the past, the merger puts us in a very strong position in the industry today and it is welcome news that we are already receiving recognition for our ecommerce cross-border services with this nomination.
“Our wealth of expertise and efficient end-to-end service – which makes us unique in the industry – helps our retail clients open up new markets and retain existing ones both in the UK and internationally.”
