Quadient Partners with Stonegate Group to Offer Convenient Parcel
Pickup and Returns at 400 New Locations Across the UK
- Happy hour for consumers
and businesses as the UK’s largest pub company joins the Parcel
Pending by Quadient Open Locker Network
Quadient (Euronext Paris: QDT),
a leader in helping businesses create meaningful customer
connections through digital and physical channels and a major
global parcel locker operator, today announced that Stonegate Group
– the UK’s largest pub company with a portfolio of more than 4,500
managed, leased and tenanted sites, including Yates, Slug and
Lettuce, and Walkabout – has joined the Parcel Pending by Quadient
Open Locker Network as a host partner. Quadient has already started
rolling out its carrier-agnostic parcel lockers, with an initial
target of installing 400 locker units across Stonegate’s 1,200
managed properties.
“We believe pubs sit at the heart of British
culture and support any move that can turn them into even more of
an asset to the local community,” said Claire Rust, Senior Buying
Manager, Stonegate Group. “Parcel Pending by Quadient smart lockers
enable people living near our pubs to easily and securely pick up
and return online deliveries from a convenient, trusted location.
From Plymouth to Glasgow, introducing parcel lockers to our sites
is already benefitting customers and the local community.”
Already used by DHL, DPD UK, Evri and UPS,
Quadient’s Open Locker Network allows pub customers and local
residents to pick up and return items at any time. The lockers’
built-in ability to print shipping labels simplifies the returns
process, and their secure construction keeps valuable items safe
from package theft, which a recent Quadient Police FOI request
revealed rose more than 500% in four years.
Katia Bourgeais-Crémel, EVP Parcel Locker
Solutions Europe at Quadient, said: “Our vision with the Quadient
Open Locker Network is to allow consumers to access lockers
anywhere and ideally combine pick-up with other trips as part of
everyday life. As established community assets, Stonegate’s pubs
make natural host locations. Our research found most consumers
recognize that lockers benefit their community, making the
environment safer by reducing delivery van traffic and
opportunities for theft. We are looking forward to further
expanding our network with Stonegate Group and giving people even
more places to conveniently pick up and return parcels.”
Quadient is establishing strategic partnerships
across the UK to secure premium locations for its Open Locker
Network, including at forecourts and parking sites. For more
