Parcel delivery firm Evri announces new locker partnerships at Tesco and Motor Fuel Group

Evri Group, a UK parcel delivery company, reports the launch of the first wave of its owned locker network in partnership with grocery retailer Tesco, alongside a new nationwide partnership with Motor Fuel Group (MFG), the UK’s largest independent forecourt operator.

The roll-out includes 500 new locker locations at petrol stations across the UK.

These offer pick up and drop off, contact free functionality, QR code access and print at locker capability, with this latest announcement building on Evri’s existing footprint of more than 11,000 ParcelShops and lockers across the UK, including services available in Post Office branches and Asda stores.

It follows the company’s announcement of a £50 million investment to more than double its ParcelShop and locker estate by 2030. Evri has partnered with Bloq.it on the development of these new lockers, commissioning at least 1,000 units.

Liam Rogan, Head of ParcelShop and Locker Network at Evri, says: “By partnering with Tesco and Motor Fuel Group in launching the first wave of our lockers, we’re reinforcing our commitment to a choice of quality delivery methods.”

“Evri’s own data shows that customers value convenience when it comes to deliveries, so with Tesco stores and Motor Fuel Group forecourts at the heart of so many communities, there will be easy access to Evri services alongside filling up or picking up essentials.”

“Together, these partnerships will provide shoppers with even more flexibility to send, receive, and return parcels in a way that suits them, reflecting how consumer behaviour is continuing to evolve.”

Tesco

The trial with Tesco will see the first wave of new Evri branded lockers installed at a small number of Tesco Extra and Superstore locations across the UK, building on an existing Tesco Clubcard partnership, which lets customers earn points on every parcel they send through Evri, with one point per £1 spent.

A spokesperson for Tesco says: “We’re constantly looking for ways to make the shopping trip even more convenient for our customers, and as part of a small locker hub partner trial across a small number of stores, where we are bringing a number of providers together, we’re pleased to introduce Evri lockers across a selected small number of stores.”

Motor Fuel Group

The MFG tie up will see the installation of 500 new lockers at forecourts across the UK, with the roll-out beginning this month and continuing through spring. Many locations include on-site retail brands such as Morrisons Daily, Subway and Starbucks.

A Motor Fuel Group spokesperson says: “With the roll-out of Evri’s lockers across 500 Motor Fuel Group sites, this new partnership brings together two brands focused on everyday convenience. Together we’re able to give customers greater flexibility to send, collect and return parcels as part of their regular routines, while enhancing the role our forecourts play in local communities and adding real value for our retail partners.”

2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

Parcel lockers will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC 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.
