Graeme Wilson, Managing Director of Vision Logistics: “We are extremely happy to join Associated Couriers and Life Couriers, giving us the power to drive the ongoing growth of our business and helping us in the further development of the company and its range of services. We are sure to benefit from the global life science competencies within Life Couriers, as a base for our local portfolio extension, but also happily contribute our healthcare knowledge to see it flourish in other European or the American markets.”

Matt Silverberg, CEO of Associated Couriers Inc.: “With the acquisition of Vision Logistics, we are adding another great market leader in a very promising healthcare logistics segment to our existing leadership portfolio, and we are adding the UK market as the 6th European country to the Life Couriers footprint. And beyond: Over the past 12 months, we have seen an increasing global cross-fertilization of sectoral knowledge and competencies within the Life Couriers universe – and now Vision Logistics will also contribute to boost that development. We are very happy to have them in the family.”
