Two-man delivery firm Arrow XL has revealed it made over two million deliveries in its first year of trading under its new identity.

The Yodel sister company previously traded as Yodel XL, but launched its new branding in March 2013. Since then it has made two million deliveries, including next-day and 48-hour deliveries, to customers nationwide.

It has also increased its fleet by 85 vehicles over the last 12 months, a mix of 7.5- and 15-tonne MAN rigids, taking its fleet of trucks to over 300. They have all now been liveried in the new branding.

Chief executive Ian Howell said: “Much of our success this year can be attributed to a single objective; going the extra mile for our customers. With this overarching philosophy running throughout our entire business, the rest takes care of its self.”

It also said nearly a third of its staff have achieved an NVQ of some form through its internal training programmes in the last 12 months, with the rest of its workforce currently working towards receiving their qualifications.

The company operates out of four hubs in Wigan, Inverness, Worcester and north London, and 14 satellite depots across the UK.
