InPost and Transport for Greater Manchester announce parcel locker partnership

InPost has announced a new partnership in the UK with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). 

With 99 Metrolink stops, TfGM is the second largest local transport network in the UK after the London Underground, with over 5.6 million journeys made each day.

The partnership, which supports TfGM’s initiative to reduce carbon output, will see up to 28 parcel lockers rolled out at bus and Metrolink stations across Greater Manchester by the end of the year, with 13 already installed. 

Michael Rouse, CEO at InPost International, says: “We’re rapidly growing our network of 4,000+ parcel lockers in the UK and the partnership with TfGM marks another significant milestone for our business.”

“It’s also an important step towards our goal of making parcel collections and returns fuss free for everyone.”

“The new lockers will expand the breadth of parcel and post services available in the Greater Manchester area, meaning that busy commuters can avoid waiting in for parcel deliveries and skip the queues when it comes to making returns. Instead, they can use our lockers while on the go.”

Mike Mellor, Head of Commercial at TfGM, says: “The roll-out of InPost Lockers at Metrolink stops and interchanges across Greater Manchester provides customers with a quick and easy way to collect and return parcels as part of their daily commute or journey across the network.”

“TfGM has adopted an approach to develop new sustainable revenue streams through commercial partnerships for reinvestment into transport services.”

“By creating partnerships like this one, we’re on our way to creating a truly integrated transport that supports multi-modal journeys and puts customer convenience at the heart of what we do.”
