The Fast Growth Business Awards 2010 recognise business performance across a host of sectors including innovation, green initiatives, best use of technology and social enterprise of the year.

Entries were judged by a panel of successful business entrepreneurs including Will King, Founder of King of Shaves; Julie Meyer, Founder and Chief Executive of Ariadne Capital; and Matthew Riley, Chief Executive Officer of Daisy Group Plc. The awards were presented at a glittering ceremony which took place at the Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square in Mayfair, London.

Founder Fil Adams-Mercer said: “Being named Online Business of the Year is a great accolade and is testament to the strong business performance that Parcel2Go.com has delivered. Over the last years our business has gone from strength to strength as more and more users opt to use the cost savings and convenience of an online delivery service. The team has worked incredibly hard and used a great deal of initiative to capitalise on business opportunities to get us where we are now.”

Parcel2Go was founded in 2000 by father and son team, Fil and Richard Adams-Mercer along with colleague, Steve Kramer.

The ‘no hassle’ and low-cost parcel delivery service located in a former textile mill realised a turnover of £11.5 million to the end of its ninth year of business.

Using established couriers including Fed-Ex, DHL, City Link, UPS, Home Delivery Network and Parcelforce to transport goods across the UK and worldwide, the company originally operated with an even split of online and account customers. Predicting the online boom, the company made a strategic shift to develop a stronger online presence and now boasts 800,000 users per year.
