ITASCA, IL (July 29, 2024) – Premium white glove delivery pioneer Panther Logistics, acquired by supply chain solutions leader AIT Worldwide Logistics in November 2020, has rebranded as AIT Home Delivery.The U.K.-based final mile group has dominated the two-person home delivery market since it launched its game-changing next day offering nearly 15 years ago. Now operating as AIT Home Delivery, the business will continue to extend its footprint and expand its range of services to further reinforce its market-leading position.
“This rebrand will allow AIT Home Delivery to strengthen its position as the U.K. leader in specialized two-person delivery by offering the parent company’s integrated freight forwarding solutions that are customized to fit any retailer’s requirements,” said AIT’s Chairman and CEO, Vaughn Moore.
“We look forward to offering our world-class first- and middle-mile services to home delivery customers in the United Kingdom, while working to expand two-person delivery into Europe,” he added.
With its headquarters in Northampton, AIT Home Delivery covers the United Kingdom via a network of eight strategically located regional hubs, employs a workforce of more than 550 teammates, and offers an end-to-end e-fulfillment service.
AIT’s Vice President, Global Home Delivery Operations, Gary McKelvey, said he is excited about the journey ahead and stressed that it is very much business as usual.
“We have been providing best-in-class two-person, next day and final mile home delivery services throughout the United Kingdom since 2010 and will continue to do so,” McKelvey said. “Our rebrand to AIT Home Delivery will further define the home delivery product and enable us to expand the two-person operation across Europe. Most importantly, fully integrating with the parent company allows us to offer seamless first- and middle-mile services for our customers who are importing goods that are ultimately delivered to consumers’ homes in the United Kingdom.”
