More about the partners

fulfilment delivered by multi carrier overnight and international delivery or same day

We are powered by despatchlab – the one stop logistics platform that manages our
clients, their logistics and our network partner businesses too. This gives 100%
transparency of all logistics – from inventory, to pick, pack and final delivery to clients
and their end customers.
All of this is delivered by our diamond network – local delivery experts working in
partnership with locally owned and managed service centres delivering personalised
excellent client care.
