Absolutely, a London-based courier company, has acquired rival Go-Between Couriers (Go-Betweens) for an undisclosed price.

Go-Betweens is a London-centric courier firm, which operates from Holborn, WC1. The courier company offers sameday, next day, and international delivery services.

Absolutely said that the deal is in line with its growth strategy and follows its acquisition of 3D Couriers about a couple of years ago.

Established in 1986, Go-Betweens is said to operate a wide variety of vehicles which includes push bikes, motorbikes, and vans.

The courier business will continue to be run under the Go-Betweens brand in the short-term and will be backed by the same team of professionals to ensure that the transition is seamless.

Stuart Godman – CEO of Absolutely said: “We are delighted to have acquired such a well-established business and there are significant synergies between the two companies as we share key common values and goals. This acquisition underpins our business strategy to continue growing over the coming years and adds significant experience to our team.

“Our utmost priority is the customer and we will continue to provide outstanding service in the Sameday, UK Overnight, International and Temperature Controlled markets. We are really excited about welcoming the Go-Between team to the Absolutely family.”
