Nick Wiles, Chief Executive at PayPoint, says: “The pandemic has accelerated two key trends in retail: support for local retailers and demand for fast, convenient fulfilment.”

“This partnership wcaters to both of these, meaning we’re not only future-proofing our own business but we’re helping our PayPoint One customers to do the same. This collaboration is a firm statement of our commitment to the convenience retail sector.”

Mark Steven, COO at Snappy Group, which is formed of two businesses, Snappy Shopper and Hungrrr, adds: “Integrating the Snappy Shopper platform with PayPoint’s EPoS makes it considerably more efficient for retailers to fulfil their home delivery orders with us and increases the potential revenue uplift.”

“Our platform is based on genuine partnership and mutual benefit, and we are pleased that, together with PayPoint, we can equip retailers with an affordable and high performing tech solution to compete in the fast changing home delivery market.”

Justin King

Former Sainsbury’s CEO Justin King recently took a “significant” stake in Dundee-based Snappy Group.

He also joined the board as non-executive director following a Series A funding round.

King, who is also a non-executive director at Marks & Spencer, commented: “I have been hugely impressed by the Snappy Group's affordable solution, leadership team and rapid growth.”

“The company is championing the needs of businesses in their local community. Its proprietary technology provides local businesses with an affordable delivery solution which enables them to compete in this fast changing market segment.”

“This not only caters to the trend for top up shopping but also an increasing desire by consumers to access and support local enterprises.”

He concluded: "This is an exciting and pivotal time for the business and I believe that I will be able to add significant value.”

“I look forward to working with the management team as the business continues its expansion and grows its market share further within the thriving UK convenience market and beyond."
