KPMG Corporate Finance LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to InXpress Holdings Ltd
KPMG Corporate Finance LLC is pleased to announce Hudson Hill Capital (“Hudson Hill” or “HHC”) acquired a majority stake in InXpress Holdings Ltd., in partnership with the company’s senior management team.
The transaction reinforces InXpress’ long-term commitment to provide 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 Capital. “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.”
