vGROUP International, a leading force in the automotive logistics sector, today announced the acquisition of Pick Pack Despatch (PPD). This move expands vGroup’s capabilities in the growing e-commerce fulfillment space, catering specifically to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
PPD brings a reputation for reliable and cost-effective order fulfillment services to the partnership. The acquisition complements vGroup’s existing strengths in finished product logistics for the automotive industry, allowing them to offer broader supply chain solutions.
“PPD's focus on flexibility and serving the SME market fits perfectly with our customer-centric approach. This strategic move opens up exciting potential to deliver even more comprehensive logistics solutions to our valued clients.”

Added Suzanne Merrell, Director of Pick Pack Despatch: “The timing of vGroup’s approach couldn’t have been better. Joining a larger organisation with a similar commitment to service excellence lets us take PPD to the next level.”
The acquisition promises synergies for both companies, and positions vGroup International for continued growth as it adapts to a rapidly evolving automotive logistics landscape.
