Parcelnet takes over Redcats UK courier network

Don't you just love "spin". A recent press release from Parcelnet comments:

Redcats UK, a key player in the UK home shopping sector, plans to sell its well established courier network business to Parcelnet as part of an exciting deal that will enhance the delivery options available to its own customers.

Redcats provided the home delivery service for brands such as La Redoute, Empire Stores, Vertbaudet and Daxon. The slant is that the acquisition will "enable Parcelnet to provide more delivery options for its customers". All nice in theory, but we'll have to see how it goes in practice.
