Post Haste is Arrow Express Couriers' new name

Commercial Motor

June 8, 2007

Arrow Express, a member of the APC Overnight network, took on the new brand after it bought Post Haste in April. Post Haste was adopted because of "greater visibility. From a corporate point of view it was a more recognisable name and it had around 70 vehicles with the brand logo," Steve Rutherfoord, business development manager, tells Motor Transport. Most of the previously branded Arrow Express vehicles now bear the new brand, he adds. Post Haste is based on Cressex Industrial Estate in High Wycombe, Bucks. The acquisition added 5,000sq ft to the company's 2,000sq ft of warehouse space.
