Parcel carrier Business Post Group said Q3 revenues in its growing mail business lifted 60% over a year earlier.
The group today announced it was trading in line with expectations.
Business Post, which is challenging state-owned postal carrier Royal Mail, said its mail operation, UK Mail, won significant contracts with new customers including MBNA and Norwich Union in the period.
'With these new contracts, we now handle some 10% of all mail collected in the UK,' the group said in a trading statement.
Business Post said group revenues between October 1st and December 31st increased 13% over a year earlier. Underlying group revenues in the period lifted by 20%, excluding revenues from a contract with FedEx terminated in April last year.
Underlying parcels revenues in the period were up 6% on last year and the group said it continued to see good growth in its business-to-business parcels operations, which represent around 80% of parcels revenues.
In its business-to-consumer operations, which represents 15% of the parcels business, its period-on-period performance was consistent with the first half.
Revenues in its specialist services business for the period were in line with last year.
'We have achieved a good revenue performance during the third quarter, trading performance is in line with management expectations and overall the board expects good progress for the year,' the group said in its statement.
Business Post will report preliminary results for the year ended March 31st, 2008, on May 21st.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Wasn't it UK Mail that said they didn't have any plans to deliver mail, preferring to rely on DSA to make a quick buck. Agree 100% with Postman. All the DSA parasites should be forced to provide their own delivery network, we may lose contracts (and jobs) to begin with, but you would soon see these companies going bust. Also had to laugh at TNT's tantrum at the imposition of minimum wage in Germany. To****s.
