Sovex signs new deal with delivery specialist

WIRRAL manufacturer Sovex has renewed a major servicing agreement with DHL Express UK & Ireland, the express delivery services and international shipping experts.

The Prenton-based materials handling specialist will service and maintain machines operating in close to 50 DHL Express depots across the UK.

The news comes as £24m turnover company Sovex reports a 25% expansion to its servicing division in the last 12 months, now employing a total of 41 engineers – up from 33 on the same period last year.

Sovex managing director Michele Dematteis said the firm is experiencing rapid growth with turnover surging to more than £24m since setting up in 2002.  

It was recently named the fastest growing company on Merseyside, and listed number 82 in the 2014 Virgin Sunday Times Fast Track Top 100.
 
“We are thrilled to have renewed our servicing agreement with DHL Express in the UK,” said Mr Dematteis.

“Our relationship goes back to 2009, when we signed an initial contract to service and maintain machines in 46 depots across the UK. We have now extended this agreement for three years, for the second time running.”
