UnionOne Express and other subsidiaries
UNIONONE EXPRESS, one of First Union’s major subsidiaries, is a local and international courier service established in 2013. It facilitates online shopping, the clearance of packages and the delivery of both local and international packages. Additionally, UnionOne Express has local partnerships with various entities, such as one with internationally renowned logistic company Federal Express, allowing for the delivery of international packages to the most remote areas in Jamaica. We aim to make UnionOne Express one of the most competitive and customer-centric online shopping and ground courier service businesses in the Caribbean, and beyond that will deliver exceptional customer service. We are currently investing in a software system that will not only enhance our business operations, but will give customers much speedier delivery services. With our warehouse and office space in Miami, Florida, we are able to maintain control over our distribution channels, enabling us to cater to Jamaica and the wider Caribbean region.
UnionOne Express offers free membership to all our current and potential customers, and provides discounts on weight charges for individuals who ship in bulk and/or for business purposes. Our 14 branches islandwide allow our customers to collect their packages quickly and conveniently, or they can choose to have it delivered to their door through our local courier service.
WELL-DEFINED PROGRAMME
Newer subsidiaries under the group include PinkCat Pest Control Services, which is licensed as a pest control operator by the Pest Control Authority. To aid in our efficiency, we use a well-defined Integrated pest management programme to help eliminate or drastically reduce the use of pesticides, as well as to minimise the toxicity of and exposure to any products which are used. A wide range of services are available for pre-construction and post-construction treatments.
In addition, First Union Homes’ first project was the building of the new corporate headquarters of First Union Financial Group and is currently engaged in a joint-venture project of building an apartment complex in the Barbican area that will be available on the market soon. The aim of First Union Homes is to build and provide middle-income housing throughout Jamaica in the years to come, which will act as a catalyst for growth.
