Evri set to activate 2,000 more Parcel Pending by Quadient smart lockers across the UK
Quadient reports an extended partnership with Evri.
Under the new agreement, Evri will be activating 2,000 additional Parcel Pending by Quadient smart lockers across the UK in the coming months.
As part of the collaboration, it will adopt a significant share of Quadient’s open locker network in the UK, including its Drop Box functionality.
“We’re committed to providing innovative delivery solutions that meet the needs of our customers.” says Pauline Potter, Director of Transformation at Evri. “By reinforcing our relationship with Quadient, we are enhancing our network of pick-up and drop-off locations, making parcel delivery and returns more accessible and convenient for consumers.”
“This forms part of our wider ambition to grow our ParcelShop and Locker network to over 25,000 locations by 2030, a move that will more than double Evri parcel drop off locations for customers and clients. Our choice of Parcel Pending by Quadient smart lockers aligns with our mission to stay ahead of growing parcel volumes and deliver a seamless experience for our customers.”
Evri was the first UK carrier to introduce Quadient’s Drop Box and Printer capabilities in February 2023.
“This partnership extension reflects a shared vision to reshape last mile delivery and make it smarter, more convenient, and more sustainable,” says Katia Bourgeais Crémel, EVP Parcel Locker Solutions Europe, at Quadient.
“By combining Evri’s nationwide reach with our open locker technology, we’re creating an ecosystem that meets evolving consumer expectations and supports a greener, more efficient logistics model.”
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Parcel lockers were a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.
We received a record number of entries and many fantastic examples of the continued resilience and dynamism of the retail space during hugely challenging times.
For a full rundown of all of the shortlisted entries, click here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC in Central London on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
