Bee Saleem has been appointed customer service executive to ensure SME customers have day-to-day contact to assist with any enquiries. The three new recruits join GB Couriers’ 15-strong team.
Jonathan Smith, chief executive at APC Overnight, said: “The strength and determination of the UK’s SMEs continues to prevail. Throughout the first half of 2021 - and even as lockdown restrictions have eased - we are still seeing high demand for delivery services, as consumers continue to shop online and businesses continue to rely on carriers to get these items delivered.
“The ongoing dedication and hard work of our colleagues at GB Couriers will be key to supporting this, ensuring that the needs of customers are recognised, and working closely with them to ensure those needs are met.”
