Following a strategic review of IMX’s UK operation, and the recent acquisition of IMX France by bpost group, IMX directors made the decision to rehome their customers with Air Business, says the company.
Adam Sherman, CEO at Air Business, commented, “I am delighted that Air Business has been chosen by IMX as the preferred destination for their key clients, entrusted to maintain delivery of a first-class service. Additionally, as our core publishing clients diversify into the e-commerce sector, we are best placed to provide them with well-established and quality e-commerce fulfilment and distribution solutions, supported by great technology with a vast number of integrations. I am particularly excited by the arrival of key IMX staff at Air Business, whose knowledge, experience and skills will strengthen both our team and capabilities.”
The transition from IMX to Air Business will be phased over this summer and is being overseen by the respective transition teams, the company added.
Nicholas Street, CEO of IMX, added, “After an extensive review of the marketplace, taking into consideration services, experience and culture, I am confident that Air Business is the perfect home for these prestigious accounts, and that together we will deliver the high level of service that IMX has become renowned for. Having worked with Air Business for a number of years, forging a strong relationship with Adam and the senior team, I am delighted to provide this continuity of service to our clients.”
Air Business say that Nicholas joins the company as e-commerce fulfilment & distribution director and is chairman of the Mail Carriers Association (MCA), a membership organisation representing postal operators, wholesale operators and private operators in the mailing industry, bringing with him considerable knowledge, influence and expertise in this field.
The IMX clients such as Harley-Davidson Owners Group and Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm will be joining a portfolio of some of Europe’s leading businesses. These include Future Publishing, Immediate Media, Haymarket, Elsevier, Informa Group, Conde Nast, Debrett's, Specsavers, Sweaty Betty and The Book Depository, to name a few.
As a wholly-owned subsidiary of An Post, the National Post Office of Ireland, Air Business enjoys the best of both worlds, says the company; having the freedom to operate independently whilst also benefiting from the backing and support of a national post office.
