Although it has only been just under a year since we sat down with Evri to discuss its name change , it ’ s no surprise that there have been numerous significant developments across the business in the last ten months . It has opened three new depots , for instance , launched partnerships to enhance its service offerings , and consolidated its commitment to sustainability by lowering its emissions .
This development showcases our commitment to responding to the everincreasing demand for online shopping ...
Enhanced operations
Shortly after our conversation in July 2022 , Evri announced a strategic new partnership with Vinted , the largest consumer-toconsumer online marketplace in Europe , dedicated to second-hand fashion . Evri ’ s support of Vinted is not completely new though ; it has been a key delivery partner for the online marketplace since 2018 , but this new partnership reflects the recent growth of both organizations .
Focusing on ParcelShops specifically , the collaboration will see over 50 of Evri ’ s ParcelShop ’ s co-branded with Vinted . The brands have also formed a social media campaign to highlight the benefits of using Vinted , as well as the convenience of sending parcels via Evri ’ s ParcelShops , with several well-known influencers and creators posting content across TikTok and Instagram .
“ Vinted is a phenomenal success story , and we are proud to be one of its delivery partners ,” Claire Phelan , Head of Ecommerce Partnerships at Evri said in a related press release . “ This latest collaboration showcases our dedication and scale in supporting both the Vinted marketplace and its members .”
With operations consistently increasing , Evri opened the doors to its new automated parcel distribution ‘ superhub ’ in Barnsley , England , in September 2022 , which is the largest hub of its kind within Europe . The site represents a £ 60-million investment and has created over 1400 new jobs , including apprenticeships , with over 80 percent of operatives recruited from local and surrounding areas .
With the capacity to process up to 1.1 million parcels each day , the new 340,000-square-foot facility is predicted to increase Evri ’ s overall parcel processing capacity to 4.2 million a day . Strategically located close to the motorway and near many of its retail customers ’ distribution sites , the new hub will also facilitate later cut-off times for collections and some deliveries .
