Quadient boosts smart parcel locker network in the UK through partnership with The Range
Quadient has announced a partnership with The Range, a UK retailer operating more than 200 stores nationwide.
This will see Parcel Pending by Quadient parcel lockers being rolled out across The Range stores, in cities and towns including London, Birmingham, Swansea and Blackburn.
Available to all carriers and service providers, the lockers provide 24/7 access for deliveries, returns, and exchanges. They can also facilitate temporary item storage and services such as prescription collection, retail Click and Collect orders, spare parts retrieval, and key handovers.
The partnership boosts Quadient’s footprint in the UK, with a goal to achieve 5,000 lockers nationwide by 2027.

“Partnering with The Range is a big step forward for us, not just in terms of scale, but in how we bring real convenience to people’s everyday lives,” says Katia Bourgeais-Crémel, EVP Parcel Locker Solutions Europe at Quadient.
“Beyond technology, it’s about creating everyday solutions that genuinely fit into people’s lives and make things simpler. The Range understands its customers deeply, and that makes them an ideal partner as we grow our open locker network. We’re very excited about the positive impact this collaboration will have on communities across the country.”
A spokesperson for The Range says: “We’re always looking for new ways to enhance our customers’ shopping experience, be it launching Click and Collect at our stores nationwide in as little as one hour or increasing our offering with the incorporation of garden centres by Homebase."
“Partnering with Quadient enables us to offer even greater convenience by making it super simple for shoppers to collect and return parcels to their own schedule. We look forward to incorporating this into our wider store estate amid other transformational projects, all of which aim to help our customers get their hands on great value home and garden products as easily as possible.”
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Online delivery will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.
The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”
He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”
“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”
Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
