Xpediator is new Delamode parent

[ October 19, 2017   //   ]

Long-established East European freight specialist Delamode has a new holding company, Xpediator and is looking to expand its activities through mergers and acquisitions or franchising.

Xpediator is the holding company for freight management firm Xpediator Group. The original business, trading as Delamode, was established in 1988 by the Group’s chief executive officer, Stephen Blyth, providing freight forwarding services in the UK.

It has since evolved into an integrated freight management business operating in supply chain logistics and fulfilment across the UK and Europe with a particular focus on east Europe.

In 2017, as part of the Company’s growth strategy, the management team decided to list the Company on the London Stock Exchange in order to raise new capital and support its objective to grow organically and by acquisition. It was decided to introduce Xpediator as the holding company at the time of the IPO in August 2017 above the trading divisions so that any new companies that were acquired could continue to trade under their existing brands as is the case with Easy Managed Transport  acquired in March 2017 and not have to change their name to Delamode.

The well-known Delamode name, will thus continue as the trading entity for the road freight arm, explained group chief executive Stephen Blyth.
