Cargo bike logistics company Zedify has launched in its 10th UK city with the opening of a new hub in Birmingham’s city center – a strategically important location close to the Midlands’ ‘golden triangle’ of e-commerce warehousing.
The launch is part of Zedify’s strategy to grow capacity across its network, with a goal to be in 50 UK cities in five years. According to the company, its service in Birmingham will reduce congestion and emissions arising from last-mile delivery as it produces over 80% less CO2e than even deliveries using electric vans.
Zedify co-founder and CEO Rob King, said, “I’m delighted to be launching Zedify’s first Midlands hub in Birmingham. As Britain’s second-largest city, this launch not only enables us to have a massive impact on reducing emissions arising from last-mile delivery but also provides a strategically important location for Zedify as we continue on our mission to be the UK’s first choice for sustainable urban deliveries.”
The new hub in Birmingham is in a multistory parking garage sourced in partnership with Decarbon Logistics, which specializes in helping logistics companies find flexible space in urban centers. The Birmingham hub will serve areas in the city center plus Aston, Edgbaston and Selly Oak. Zedify is looking to grow rapidly in these areas by rolling out deliveries for its existing partners and for businesses across the city.
