About Xpediator PLC

Xpediator Plc is the parent company for the Xpediator Group of companies, which trades under several brand. The original business, trading as “Delamode”, was established in 1988 by Stephen Blyth (the Group’s Chief Executive Officer), providing freight forwarding services in the UK.  Today, the Group’s International network of offices has grown and provides road, sea and air freight services, together with logistics and warehousing in the UK and Romania.

Xpediator has a strong presence in Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Baltic states. The Group currently employs over 1000 people, with operational headquarters in Braintree, Essex, and country offices in Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Moldova, Romania and Serbia operating across a total of 38 sites.

The Group has three main business areas which are managed autonomously on a day-to-day basis but directed centrally to cross-sell services to the Group’s customer base:

  • Freight forwarding: which trades under the Delamode, Benfleet, Regional Express and EshopWedrop brands and specialises historically in the UK to CEE routes
  • Logistics and warehousing: which comprises distribution and logistics hubs in the UK, Bulgaria and Romania and operates under the Delamode, EMT and Pall-Ex brands
  • Transport services: including bundled fuel and toll cards, predominantly in Romania but also Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro, trading under the Affinity Transport Solutions brand.

2017 was a transformational year for the Group, during which it successfully listed on AIM, raised an aggregate of £7.8 million in new equity investment (before expenses) and completed the acquisition of three complementary and earnings accretive businesses - EMT Logistics, Benfleet Forwarding and Regional Express.

Xpediator is set to continue its strong growth during 2018, driven by exposure to faster GDP growth in Central Eastern Europe and the Baltic states; the growth of relatively new operations areas, such as EshopWedrop and Pall-Ex; opening of new offices, warehouses and services; and, not least, further acquisitions that will complement the group’s current service proposition.
