Currys picks Metapack to support UK omnichannel tech retailer’s delivery operations across UK&I
Metapack, an e-commerce delivery management specialist, has announced a partnership with UK retailer Currys. The deal brings Metapack’s technology to Currys’ customers, with the aim of giving shoppers delivery options at checkout and improved real-time visibility on every order.
“We’re pleased to be partnering with Metapack, making it easier than ever before for customers to shop with Currys,” says Simon Boss, Director of Logistics and Home Delivery at Currys. “The technology will help us respond quickly to demand and deliver a more seamless shopping experience for our customers. It’s just one part of our mission to help everyone enjoy amazing technology.”
“We are proud to be chosen by Currys, a British institution and one of the country's most trusted retail names,” says Mark Honeyben, SVP and Managing Director, Europe at ShipStation Global. “Currys understands what delivery has become: a genuine driver of loyalty, revenue and brand reputation. The retailers leading in this space are those treating every post purchase interaction as an opportunity, not an obligation, and our platform gives Currys the intelligence and scale to do precisely that.”
2026 RTIH Innovation Awards
Online delivery 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.
