Chairman, Councillor Geoffrey Buckenham.
Managing Director at Abby Couriers, Mr Mark Giles, said: "Abby Couriers is delighted to be opening its new Head Office here in Basildon and our thanks go to Steve Potts and the Chairman of Basildon District Council for joining us to make this day even more special.
"Abby Couriers traces its routes back to 1994 when a taxi firm - Abby Cars (West Horndon) Limited - started operating from the old tea room at West Horndon Station and filling a gap in the market as no taxi firm operated from the station at that time.
"As someone who has lived in Basildon for 14 years I have seen in recent years the investment which is taking place to provide suitable business premises for businesses such as ours and we are pleased to be officially opening the new offices during May.
"Abby Couriers now has a team of around 200 people, including 175 drivers, providing a Same Day Delivery Service across the United Kingdom and Europe and that is set to expand following the opening of our new Head Office which officially takes place on Wednesday 14 May 2008.
"We are looking forward to being based in Basildon and continuing our development and growth as we provide top quality courier services for businesses across the county and beyond."
Commenting during the opening ceremony Councillor Buckenham said that Abby Couriers is exactly the type of firm the Council wishes to attract to Basildon.
Wishing the company every success, he praised it as a modern, forward thinking company which will provide a good service for local firms and bring with it prosperity and job opportunities for local people.
Abby Couriers is a family run firm with a Head Office in Luckyn Lane, Basildon and offices at Welwyn Garden City, Vauxhall and Northamptonshire.
