Parcel lockers solutions provider Quadient has announced a new partnership with Essex-based retailer Chelmsford Star Co-op to provide parcel lockers at convenience stores.
The first Parcel Pending By Quadient locker has been unveiled at the newly refurbished store on Bridge Street, Writtle, with further multicarrier parcel lockers planned across the Chelmsford Star Co-op estate.
Chris Harden, central operations manager for Chelmsford Star Co-op, commented, “By offering convenient and accessible parcel collection services, we are transforming our stores into community hubs that cater to a broader range of daily needs.
“We believe that the integration of Quadient’s parcel lockers will not only streamline parcel pickup and delivery but also foster stronger connections within our communities by making our stores a go-to destination for various services.”
Katia Bourgeais-Crémel, director of lockers automation platform Europe at Quadient, added, “We are proud to partner with Chelmsford Star Co-op in this initiative. Our focus remains on expanding the reach and usage of our open locker network to provide a seamless and sustainable pickup and delivery experience for both businesses and consumers. Parcel Pending by Quadient smart lockers have become an increasingly integral part of UK consumer habits, offering value and convenience in their daily lives.”
