Andy Wilby

After working in a variety of parcel delivery businesses, Andy started Leeds Parcel Company (“LPC”) in May 1999 funded by 4 shareholders. The company started with 3 people, Andy himself, his daughter Lindsey and one other. Over the following 18 years LPC grew steadily and now has 7 depots across the North East of England and Scotland. One of the keys to the success of the companies in the LPC Group is that the managers of the depots and of the trading divisions meet monthly to iron out any issues and plan future growth. The shareholdings in the various depots and divisions are held by a holding company; the turnover of the group is over £48m and has 450 employees.
