InPost UK inks The Derwent Group parcel lockers deal
InPost UK has announced its first commercial real estate partnership with The Derwent Group.
This will see its parcel lockers installed at locations across the The Derwent Group portfolio, including its shopping centre and retail park sites in the north of England.
Prominent locations include White City Retail Park in Old Trafford and Liverpool Shopping Park.
Jason Tavaria, CEO at InPost UK, says: “This marks another significant milestone for our roll-out of lockers in the north of England.”
“With life returning to normal, the introduction of lockers to The Derwent Group’s sites will provide local communities with genuine convenience, offering the population a really easy way to collect deliveries and return items as part of their daily shopping trips or when popping out for lunch when at work.”
“And by taking vans off the roads, they will reduce last mile deliveries locally and help to create greener communities.”
Peter Gilliland Head of Property Management, The Derwent Group, adds:“Introducing InPost UK lockers to our schemes enables us to further serve our local communities by offering people a complementary service that is a genuinely convenient, and easily accessible way to collect deliveries and return items 24/7 as part of their existing daily routines.”
“Lockers also have a key role to play in creating greener communities by reducing last mile journeys and emissions — with the potential to lower CO2 emissions by two thirds compared to home deliveries in urban areas and reduce local congestion significantly.”
