Warrington-based delivery company Today Team predicts £1.8m sales
From a man with a van to a nationwide circuit of express delivery options, Warrington-based delivery company Today Team is expecting to make £1.8m in sales this year.
The company, based from Taylor Business Park, Warrington, has delivered a number of unusual items over the past ten years, including two very expensive and rare bottles of wine to Buckingham Palace; Robbie Williams personal and lucky microphone from Liverpool to Leeds while on a world tour; and most recently, Heather Mills’ prosthetic leg.
Started in September 2005 by Jamie Boyd, an ex-professional rugby player for Warrington Wolves, Today Team rented vans and delivered beds for a local company and was financially supported by the Princes Trust with a £3k loan.
Ten years later, Today Team employees 15 full time members of staff and has an additional network of 40 self-employed drivers who are experts in express transport solutions for the UK, Europe and across the globe.
Its clients range from SMEs to Blue Chips, providing a secure and dedicated same day service to companies such as Manchester United, Warrington Wolves, Royal Bank of Scotland, ITV, Nestle and Sony.
Managing director, Jamie Boyd said: “It’s hard to believe it has been 10 years since starting out and although it’s been challenging at times, it’s always been very enjoyable and rewarding, and I am fortunate to have built a great team around me that help me keep the company moving forward.
“The next ten years will see continued growth in the North West including International deliveries, a second office in Manchester and plans to franchise the business nationally.”
