Some good news!
Asos delivers fast fashion with HDNL
E-commerce retailer asos.com has signed a contract with the Home Delivery Network Limited to carry out a home delivery and collection service on its behalf.
The online fashion and beauty store is using HDNL’s Monday to Friday 48-hour delivery service, and Monday to Saturday next day service, with Saturday deliveries offered to customers at no extra charge.
Stuart Hill, head of customer logistics for asos.com, said: “We needed a service that had the capability to provide a consistent, visible home delivery experience.
“HDNL’s track and trace system is a real advantage as it allows parcel visibility to our customers.”
Asos.com was launched in 2000 and now attracts more than 1.5 million visitors a week. The retailer recently reported a sales increase of 107 per cent compared to last year.

Apparently this was one of the best service and cost benefit peaks we have had in a long time, and the commercial clients are happy with the service levels achieved through peak. We are by no means out of the woods yet, but hopefully this is the start of things to come. However we must not be complacent in the current climate and the TU's are aware that a lot of work is still to be done to make sure that he business continues to thrive.

And finally an NNC/G is scheduled for the 19th January, once that has taken place and once we are able to share any information with you, then we will.
