Evri plans to double its network of parcel shops and lockers to 25,000 over the next five years with a £50m push.

As part of the investment, the parcel delivery company said it is launching 10,000 new smart lockers by 2030 that bring “dynamic new functionality to the consumer experience”.

The new smart lockers have “high-quality hardware with a label printer, drop box, parcel detection sensors and will be accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week”, said Evri.

Customers would also be able to see a pre-arrival capacity indicator to ensure there is space, before making a journey.

Evri said its network expansion supports its continued growth with leading retailers and marketplaces in the UK.

“We are committed to offering greater delivery choices for the consumers, retail clients, and businesses that we serve”, said Martijn de Lange, CEO of Evri. “This major multi-million-pound investment will establish one of the UK’s largest pick up, drop off networks as part of our mission to become the UK’s premier parcel delivery business. Our expanding network of locations is shaping the future of parcel delivery in the UK with smart technology and greater accessibility”.
