Read The Rest Of This...eBay customers build the UK’s largest online parcel empire
Last Updated on Thursday, 29 July 2010 04:20 Written by a2e Thursday, 29 July 2010 04:20
A company in Bolton, that was created to serve eBay traders, has grown into the biggest online parcel delivery service in the UK.
An online parcel delivery was the brain-child of serial wheeler-dealer Fil Adams-Mercer, who set up Parcel2Go in 2002 primarily to serve eBay traders requiring UK and international courier services.
Mr Adams-Mercer, whose business career began selling bruised fruit, has developed Parcel2Go.com into a £16m a year business with over 600,000 customers.
The key to Parcel2Go’s success has been the heavy investment in a sophisticated customer relationship management (CRM) system. This has cost £2.5m to create, and a further £30,000 a month “and blood, sweat and tears” to run.
Mr Adams-Mercer has designed the company to take and co-ordinates orders that are then fulfilled by Federal Express, UPS and City Link.
“Other companies chase parcels,” he said. “We chase people who may be delivering parcels in the future.”
He is also growing a niche market in the USA. Most American websites will not deliver goods outside the US because of customs bureaucracy. Mr Adams-Mercer has bought a Miami warehouse which British traders can use as their “address” when buying from American sites. Parcel2Go will then arrange parcel delivery from the US.
He is currently studying the possibility of setting up delivery franchises in Spain and France.
Fil Adams-Mercer starred as one of the ‘Secret Millionaires’ in the last series of Channel 4’s show. He was dispatched to a cramped, dirty terraced house in Doncaster to experience what it’s really like to live on Jobseekers’ Allowance.
Mr Adams-Mercer, who is a cancer survivor, donated funds to the Firefly Cancer Charity and other local good causes in Doncaster.

Tranzon Integrated Property Group (“Tranzon IPG”) and Tranzon Fox (“Tranzon Fox”) announced today that it will be conducting a UCC foreclosure auction with respect to ownership rights to 12 elder care facilities throughout Northern New Jersey in Bergen, Morris, Mercer and Somerset Counties. The portfolio will be sold as a whole and no single facility will be sold individually. Tranzon IPG will be conducting this auction through its newest office in Morristown, NJ.
“These are modern facilities and have experienced management in place making this ideal for either an investor wanting to get exposure to this space without having to manage a negative carry or an existing operator looking to expand through the acquisition of a geographically concentrated group of established facilities in affluent areas,” said Oren Klein, Vice President of Tranzon IPG.
“The foreclosure is for 100% of the membership interests in 11 limited liability companies that own and operate these 12 facilities,” said David Lowry, Vice President of Tranzon Fox. He adds, “while there is no minimum bid, we expect bidding to start around $17,000,000 for the entire portfolio.”
There are a total of 183 units among the facilities, all which specialize in Alzheimer care. All the facilities are licensed group homes and are similar in size. A Property Information Package and other detailed information is available to potential bidders.
