Diamond Logistics Delivers Cake to Celebrate its 16th Birthday - Diamond Logistics, Surrey's premier courier company, surprised 16 clients by delivering birthday cakes to them to celebrate 16 years of business in Surrey.

Diamond Logistics was founded by Kate Lester in 1992. It now has an impressive list of over 1,000 Surrey-based clients, including the top five legal firms in Guildford. With a team of up to 25 couriers, Diamond Logistics has developed a number of trusted services ranging from high speed delivery of parcels and packages to local, national or international destinations to obtaining visas and passports and collecting and banking cheques on behalf of clients.

During past 16 years, the Normandy-based business, has celebrated a number of achievements, including winning the National Courier Association (NCA) Regional Courier Company of the Year Award. Founder and managing director, Kate Lester has also won the NCA Personality of the Year Award and been Chairman of the Despatch Association.

According to Kate, "I am very proud to have started Diamond Logistics 16 years ago and to have developed it into a successful and trusted
Surrey-based business. Our couriers have built a reputation for being reliable and professional - and I genuinely believe that is one of the secrets to our success."

As a serial entrepreneur, Kate has headed up a number of businesses over the last 16 years whilst running Diamond Logistics. She is now focusing her energies entirely on the Diamond Logistics business and has exciting plans for the business as it continues to work closely with major businesses in Surrey and to grow its client base.
