Company Description

Direct Express Parcels Limited provides logistics and supply chain solutions to businesses across a wide range of sectors. Backed by an experienced team and operating from our facility on Fallside Industrial Estate, Bothwell, we handle everything from small parcels under 1kg to multi‑parcel consignments, including limited quantity hazardous goods and liquids.

As part of The APC Delivery Network, our core business covers Glasgow and Paisley postcodes—one of the largest territories within the network. With a strong and established customer base, we are focused on expanding our regional presence throughout 2026.

A key part of our success is our commitment to delivering local, responsive customer service. This customer‑first approach continues to differentiate us from competitors and is highly valued by both existing and prospective clients.

Following The APC’s recent acquisition by WS Group, significant investment and a major rebrand have strengthened the network further, making this an exciting time to join and partner with the UK’s largest independent parcel delivery network.

Working closely with customers and internal teams, you will create tailored logistics solutions and drive business growth through proactive prospecting and account development.

Candidates with experience in logistics, supply chain, or parcel delivery services will be given priority consideration.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in Business Development, Sales, or Account Management
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship‑building skills
• Strong commercial awareness with experience in market research and strategic planning
• Knowledge of logistics, supply chain, and 3PL services
• Self‑motivated with the ability to work independently and as part of a team

Interviews will be held at our office in Bothwell during July.
