Morrisons Daily partners with Quadient for parcel deliveries

Quadient has announced a new partnership with Morrisons, seeing lockers in installed in 230 stores by the end of spring.

All of Morrisons circ. 1,000 wholly-owned Morrisons Daily convenience stores have a parcel solution offer and this new partnership will enable consumers to pick up and return parcels securely from Royal Mail, Evri, DPD and UPS.

Michael Weightman, convenience trading director at Morrisons, said: “Customers have told us they want a broader range of services when it comes to parcel pick-ups and returns, so we’re delighted to be expanding the options available at our Morrisons Daily stores via this partnership.”

Quadient’s own research shows that people appreciate the positive impact businesses make by hosting lockers, for instance reducing traffic on local roads by decreasing the volume of delivery van journeys. The research also uncovered a tangible benefit for retailers; when visiting lockers hosted at stores, more than half of consumers make additional purchases.

Katia Bourgeais Crémel, director of lockers automation for Europe at Quadient, added: “Our lockers integrate into people’s daily routines, making parcel pickup and drop-off more convenient than ever. This partnership with Morrisons Daily will enhance accessibility for communities across the UK.”
