These range from aerospace to tobacco, and banks to beverage manufacturers. UPS is considered the most admired delivery company, according to the statistics, with FedEx not too far behind. These two were both some way clear of the next highest-ranking operators in the sector, TNT and Deutsche Post (DHL).
The rankings are compiled from among leading business figures, including senior executives, directors and business analysts. Of all the industries surveyed, UPS scored the highest average figure of any other company, and was one of only four companies throughout the survey which merited an overall satisfaction score of more than eight out of 10.
The delivery company came in the top 10 in eight of the nine key attributes which were ranked, including a precious top spot for its dedication to social responsibility, and second place for the quality of its management. In three other criteria – people management, use of corporate assets, and quality of its products and services – it finished in the top three overall. For FedEx, it was the tenth year in a row that the company had ranked in the top 20 of globally most admired companies, standing in 13th position.
Fortune praised FedEx for its achievement in managing costs during the harsh economic conditions while at the same time maintaining the quality of its service. It was also lauded for succeeding in expanding its business in other markets, notably Asia and Latin America, and for its work in generally enhancing the reputation of the sector for reliable parcel delivery.
For anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy parcel delivery company, these rankings confirm how highly a business is regarded both by experts in the field and the general public. A successful parcel delivery company makes it its business to find the best delivery company to handle every important job, based on the size of a consignment, the speed with which the sender wants it to be delivered, and the price they want to pay.
Reputation is everything when a company is handling others' important freight and deliveries. So a delivery company which does well in such a prestigious survey as that from Forbes magazine is sure to have a major advantage over its rivals.
