About
AICES is the voice of the UK’s international & domestic express parcel sector. We advocate for our members, drive industry standards, and engage with government agencies to shape policies that enhance efficiency, innovation, and growth in the express sector.
Our Story
The express industry first emerged during the 1970s. Since then, operations have developed from the delivery of documents and parcels to specialist items such as high-tech products, semiconductors and general air-freight commodities. Typically, the types of goods transported by express services are high-value items such as electronic components, automotive spares, product samples and pharmaceutical products.
With e-commerce becoming a major driver for the UK economy, the express industry will play an increasingly important role in the supply chain ensuring business efficiency and consumer satisfaction.
Our Objective
AICES is the leading voice of the UK’s international express sector. We advocate for our members, drive industry standards, and engage with government agencies to shape policies that enhance efficiency, innovation, and growth in the express sector.
