TNT Express has extended its delivery before noon service to more locations across Europe, including the UK.

Its ‘12:00 Express’ and ’12:00 Economy Express’ services, which provide guaranteed delivery before noon on the next or earliest possible working day, has been extended to 26 countries in Europe in just three months.

TNT unveiled its profit improvement plan earlier this year, which will see it drive higher margin business by targeting SMEs, larger and heavier parcels, palletised freight and increasing prices.

“With this upgrade, our ‘before 12:00’ delivery capability increases by 20% in some countries. TNT Express is definitely the company to turn to for all morning deliveries in Europe,” said Jan Willem Breen, TNT Express’ global director of marketing and strategy.

The firm believes the extension will particularly benefit importers and exporters in the healthcare, automotive, industrial manufacturing and technology markets.

The service covers delivery of parcels, pallets and documents to 63 countries worldwide.
