Diamond Logistics are proud to announce that Leicester-based courier – A2B Logistical Solutions – has joined the Diamond network to grow its eCommerce client base and serve customers in the Leicestershire area.

Due to launch in July 2022, A2B Logistical Solutions was founded by Ben Bryans and Andy Noble mid-pandemic in June 2020 and has grown rapidly due to its work as an Amazon delivery service provider. The Leicester service centre is based in Bitteswell, Leicestershire and offers a full service of Fulfilment, Sameday, Domestic and International shipping services.

A2B Logistical Solutions was founded off the back of Andy’s 25year logistics career with DHL and Amazon, with Ben joining the logistics sector in 2020 after running a successful plumbing and heating business. With their company name giving a nod to their partnership, A = Andy 2 B = Ben, they have worked extremely hard to build the thriving courier business they have today.

One of the reasons they love operating their own business is that they get to make the decisions that ultimately determine their success. They love working in logistics because “no day is the same – always different bumps in the road (literally) to deal with.”

Both Loughborough born and raised, Andy and Ben were drawn to the Diamond offering because “Diamond seems like a well-oiled machine with great leading software to use in our region, giving the customer the best price possible.” The football-mad pair are eager to support their fellow local businesses and the local community. Andy and Ben are avid supporters of Rainbows Childrens Hospice in Loughborough, which holds a very special place in their hearts, and are the sponsors of the Loughborough Lions U7’s football team for the upcoming season.

Asked what the Diamond partnership means to A2B, they tell us “It means a lot to us. We cannot wait and will be proud to be part of it. It gives us the opportunity to grow and make Diamond a household name in Leicestershire. We want Diamond to be proud that they have A2B as a Network Partner”

Diamond Logistics has been supporting traditional carrier business models to pivot on-line and support eCommerce businesses to scale-up. The Diamond operation is well positioned to navigate its way through the complications of Brexit, which its Network Partners will receive expert advice and support on. 

Diamond’s founder and CEO, Kate Lester, welcomes the new team. “We look forward to supporting Ben and Andy whilst they support businesses local to them.“ 

“Diamond is perfectly positioned to cater for a wide-ranging variety of logistics needs – all from one local point of contact.” Adds Kate. “It’s all managed on their one-stop logistics platform, Despatchlab. It gives our customers the latest technology and services twinned with owner managed local centres. Exactly the kind of logistics partner that a modern business needs to grow.”
