After being shortlisted in two high-profile categories, Parcelly is thrilled to be the announced winner of both the outstanding 'Delivery Initiative of the Year’ as well as the prestigious ‘Startup Company of the Year' by a distinguished panel of judges at this year's Retail System Awards.
At an exclusive awards gala dinner & ceremony at London’s Millennium Hotel in Mayfair last night, Parcelly, as part of only 3 companies on the night, joined big players such as MasterCard and VirginMedia to accept multiple awards.
The 3PL Summit & Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum is Europe’s only C-level logistics event, researched with and designed by C-Level 3PL executives, amalgamating an impressive 400+ senior attendees and 25+ sponsors & exhibitors from over 14 different countries this year.
Taking place in Venlo, the Netherlands, from the 10th - 13th October, Parcelly CEO Sebastian Steinhauser was invited to join a high-profile panel discussion on: Your “Omnichannel Strategy” isn’t just Front-End Customer Facing. It’s Everything Behind the Scenes!.
As part of CSG's network of business suppliers, Parcelly was invited to attend the Costcutter Supermarkets Group Conference & Expo 2016 at the ACC Exhibition Centre in Liverpool this week. The event was set over two days, including a Gala event hosted in celebration of CSG's 30th anniversary this year. By bringing together hundreds of dedicated retailers and suppliers, the Expo offered a fantastic opportunity to showcase products and services as well as develop stronger relationships with CSG retailers and suppliers.
We are delighted to extend our collaboration with London Councils, BIDs and local authorities like TFL across the capital. Following the recent launch of our Parcelly Agent service and further strategic partnership announcements with Palmer and Harvey and the Costcutter Supermarkets Group, Parcelly's latest coup is another step towards making our revolutionary click&collect model a household name and have London benefit from our delivery innovation.
We are pleased to announce that Shepherd Foods has been awarded Parcelly's Business Partner of the Month for October 2016. Located in London's Primrose Hill and within 5 minute walking distance from Chalk Farm Station, Shepherd Foods has been a dedicated Parcelly parcel collection point since November last year.
Hosts of the event, Publicis Groupe, used the conference as an arena to announce the winners of their Publicis90 startup initiative, which boasted a total investment fund of €10 million. Parcelly was overjoyed to be announced as a GOLD winner of the initiative. From over 3,500 applications all over the world, Parcelly was selected as one of the top 20 startups. This prize truly put the cherry on top of what had already been an unbelievable weekend.
Being shortlisted for a competition with previous winners such as O2, John Lewis and DHL is a credit to the impressive work done by Parcelly during their short life of only 18 months. With multiple very exciting upcoming developments and over 600 locations across the UK and beyond, Parcelly has set some huge targets to disrupt the logistics industry and become the go-to choice for consumers with regards to click-and-collect.
Our own CEO, Sebastian Steinhauser, was invited to speak on a panel about policy where his thoughts about how current UK and European policies will affect the sharing economy and business in general for the UK.
The conference offered multiple opportunities to speak with like-minded business owners who see opportunity in 'using what already exists' to create incredible and successful businesses. Parcelly achieves this by utilising redundant space in existing shops and local businesses for people to collect parcels, rather than creating new storage space.
The Air Quality strategy proposed endeavours to significantly reduce the air pollution in London and ultimately make the New West End the world’s top shopping destination. It was wonderful to see that Parcelly is considered to be one of the few businesses in London operating in a fashion to try and make this goal a reality. We are doing this by reducing the number of driver destinations as well as parcels that require multiple delivery attempts. On top of this, we donate up to 5% of the price of each Parcelly Booking to our partner Atmosfair.
