Sustainable final-mile courier Delivery Mates has teamed up with Yodel to enhance and expand their delivery services in Glasgow.
The two firms will now deploy cargo bikes for their Glasgow operations, cutting emissions while helping to reduce traffic congestion.
The cargo bikes will also ensure quicker and more reliable deliveries by navigating the city more effectively.
The tie-up, announced a week after Yodel was saved from collapse in a rescue deal led by rival firm Shift, supports Delivery Mates’ and Yodel’s commitments to corporate responsibility and environmental sustainability.
“We are excited about our partnership with Yodel as we believe it aligns perfectly with our vision of creating a more sustainable and efficient delivery ecosystem,” said Kevin Savage, CEO of Delivery Mates. “By incorporating cargo bikes into our operations, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also actively contributing to improving the urban environment in Glasgow.”
Mike Hancox, CEO of Yodel, commented: “We are really looking forward to working with Delivery Mates and expanding our delivery services in Glasgow. We are proud of the progress we have already made on our journey towards net zero and this partnership further signifies our commitment to sustainable delivery options and reducing our climate impact.”
