Two-person home delivery specialist ArrowXL has been acquired by the Jacky Perrenot Group, a French logistics and transportation business.
ArrowXL has officially become part of the €1.2 billion Groupe Jacky PERRENOT whose dedicated B2C brand, JP HOME, is redefining bulky-goods delivery across the continent. The Senior Executive Team stays firmly in place alongside every 2025 investment pledge staying live.
“With 170+ depots across France, Spain, Portugal and the Benelux, Jacky Perrenot unlocks seamless cross-border delivery for UK retailers, while ArrowXL keeps doing what it does best: excellence in two-person home delivery, integrated warehousing, and unrivalled customer care. The road ahead has never looked more exciting,” the company said.
The acquisition represented Jacky Perrenot Group’s first move into the UK and will enable retail customers to access other geographies utilising its expertise in 2-person delivery and its network of existing operations.
Charlie Shiels, CEO, commented: “I am delighted with this news and couldn’t have hoped for a better new owner that will bring future security for our people and our business. It is clear to us that the Jacky Perrenot Group shares similar values with ArrowXL with a strong commitment to sustainable development and to delivering the best service in the marketplace. They are a significant European company with huge ambitions and all parties are genuinely excited for the future.”
Philippe CUOC, CEO of Jacky Perrenot Group, added: “We welcome everyone at ArrowXL into our family and assure them of our intention to support the business with continued investment to further strengthen their industry leading status.
“We are excited to now own an established operation in the UK which is the largest and most vibrant ecommerce market in Europe which we believe will be of great benefit to our customers. We announced our ambitions two years ago to create an International Bulky B2C European solutions, and today, with ArrowXL, part of the JP group, we have a powerful combination that brings us closer to this target.”
