City Link (company)
City Link was a British next day courier company based in Coventry, United Kingdom (1969–2015). City Link operated a delivery service in the UK including the Isle of Man from its hub in Coventry in the West Midlands although other offices exist in other areas of the country. On 24 December 2014, the company entered administration. Ernst & Young (EY) was appointed as the administrators and immediately ceased accepting parcels from customers.
== History ==
City Link was founded in 1969 (as a subsidiary of Orbit Cargo Services Limited). It was created to provide a cross-town transfer service for Red Star Parcels (operated by British Rail). At the time, Red Star Parcels only travelled on direct passenger services, so a sender in Brighton could not despatch a parcel to Norwich, as a transfer had to be undertaken in London between London Victoria station and Liverpool Street station. In addition, the Red Star service was limited to station-to-station only and following increasing demand from its customers, City Link established a UK nationwide network of "Agents" to collect parcels from the local station and deliver to the consignee.
In 1989 the company was acquired by Securiguard Limited. On 20 November 2005 Initial City Link announced that as a part of its expansion programme, they were to ‘buy back’ the franchises. This was completed in March 2007 with the purchase of Tiger Haulage Ltd, City Link's Welwyn Garden City, Hemel Hempstead, Barking, Birmingham, Worcester, West Bromwich, Reading and High Wycombe franchises. At the time of purchase, Tiger Haulage was the largest franchisee of Initial City Link, operating 9 depots over 4 counties.
