Founded in 2012, 4PL Limited is a specialist provider of order fulfilment, supplier deliveries and customer returns services. 4PL founder and Chair Rob Burton said that the acquisition of R.T. Page & Sons marked “an exciting new chapter for both companies.”
He continued: "We believe there is great synergy between the two businesses, and this acquisition represents a strong strategic fit that will support the continued growth and success of both organisations.”
"Communications with SRC CF were excellent throughout the process, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to their team for their support and professionalism in helping to bring this deal to completion.”
Burton added that the acquisition of R.T. Page & Sons underscored 4PL’s “commitment to growth and partnership as we continue to build a stronger, more dynamic future together."
