NEW YORK and MANCHESTER, England, Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Hudson Hill Capital ("Hudson Hill" or "HHC"), a private investment firm founded

by Eric Rosen, announced today that it acquired a majority stake in InXpress

Holdings Ltd, a software-enabled global franchisor of transportation and

logistics services, in partnership with the company's senior management team.  

The transaction reinforces InXpress's long-term commitment to provide

world-class transportation and logistics solutions to small and medium sized

businesses.

Based in Manchester, U.K., InXpress is an international franchisor of parcel,

freight, and delivery logistics services serving SME customers through a

software platform and global network of almost 400 franchises in 14 countries.  

Established in 1999, the company maintains relationships with tier-one parcel,

air, and freight carriers around the world, offering discounted rates to

franchisees that form relationships with SME customers through its direct

salesforce. The Company also offers its SME customers and franchisees a SaaS

platform, enabling franchisees to effectively manage customer service and

customers to centrally manage their transportation and logistics requirements.  

InXpress built its online software platform, Webship+, on over 20-years of

insight. Webship+'s easy-to-use software features include bespoke tailoring of

best rates within their carrier network, a bulk upload tool to quickly manage

multiple orders, and integration with all of the main e-commerce platforms.

"We target companies founded by entrepreneurs and run by high quality

management teams with whom we can partner to bring the company to the next

level of growth," said Eric Rosen, Managing Partner of Hudson Hill.  "InXpress

presents a unique platform to continue to build the business globally and offer

a wider set of freight solutions. We look forward to working closely and in

partnership with existing management shareholders, Mark Taylor, Adam Thompson,

Dustin Hansen, and the entire management team."

Mark Taylor, Global CEO of InXpress since 2015, a franchising expert who has

spent the last 20 years working with private equity companies from the U.K.,

U.S., and mainland Europe, said, "Most SME shippers do not have access to a

simple, centralized transportation shipping solution like InXpress. Nor do they

have access to experts in shipping at a local level, which is part of the

service InXpress offers. The InXpress platform offers one-stop shipping

solutions that leverage our expertise, dedicated customer service, and

entrenched relationships with multiple carriers to provide business-to-business

and e-commerce customers choice, scalability, and highly competitive rates to

simplify all of their shipping needs.  We are excited to work with the

experienced Hudson Hill team to enhance our business and consistently improve

our service offering to our global customers."

Adam Thompson, CEO InXpress EMEA who helped to start the business, said, "I am

extremely proud of the company my father founded, which has seen huge growth

over the past 20+ years.  We are all very excited to continue the company's

growth trajectory by partnering with the HHC team who recognize our potential

and to drive the next phase of InXpress's growth."

Dustin Hansen, CEO InXpress Americas since 2013 and member of the Board of

Directors of the International Franchise Association, added, "The ideal

InXpress customer prefers to bring simplicity to their international, domestic,

e-commerce, and freight shipping needs.  Carriers benefit from access to our

highly-fragmented SME customer base and simpler customer service requirements

by outsourcing a number of support and back office functions to InXpress."
