AIT Home Delivery
More than a name: transforming two- person delivery after successful rebrand
A visionary thinker at a market-leading UK home delivery provider has announced bold expansion plans after a rebrand transformed the company’s future as well as its name. Panther Logistics became AIT Home Delivery in July 2024 after
it was acquired by US-based AIT Worldwide Logistics in 2020 – the latest chapter in the two-person delivery specialist’s history. Now Gary McKelvey, AIT’s Vice President, Global Home Delivery
Operations, has set his sights on revolutionising two-person home delivery services in the US and Europe and grasping the fresh opportunities each market presents. Gary, who has been instrumental in merging the two delivery
fi rms’ operations, expertise and philosophies, said: “T e past few months have been hectic but incredibly productive. Since becoming VP, I’ve been working hard to identify fresh market possibilities and how best to grasp them.
“Every market is diff erent, with issues such as geographical and
territorial challenges. However, there is also opportunity. Germany, for example, has similar economic e-commerce buying habits and requirements to the UK.” AIT Worldwide Logistics, a globally recognised supply chain
solutions leader with access to markets worldwide, and AIT Home Delivery have worked together to develop the two-person delivery specialist’s presence in the UK marketplace, winning signifi cant new partnerships with major e-commerce retailers. A key part of this is the two-way fl ow of business excellence, an objective driven by Gary’s leadership, exceptional drive and commitment to constant improvement. “T e partnership has allowed us to share best practice on both
sides of the pond,” said Gary. “T e US, for example, has helped develop gym and leisure equipment services in the UK, while using British expertise in appliance and white goods delivery to enhance AIT Worldwide Logistics’ global operations. “T e senior management team has also encouraged staff to

develop by empowering them to bring forward their ideas, giving them the responsibility and trust necessary to drive AIT forward. T e way we have combined each partner’s skills and experience will act as a foundation for AIT Home Delivery’s plans to move into European markets and build on the success of its UK rebrand.” Gary, who spearheaded Panther’s biggest ever contract win, a £35m deal with Sky, and who has been with the company since 2015, added: “AIT off ers unrivalled fi rst and middle-mile services and its fi nal-mile off ering is now market-leading thanks to AIT Home Delivery. “That exceptional final-mile experience – characterised
by premium services like removing packaging, assembly and installation, disposal, a seven-day-a-week service, and liaison with the customer on delivery windows – can be customised to fi t any European retailer’s requirements. “We are looking forward to bringing AIT’s world-class two- person home delivery services to more customers.”
