Delivery company wants to support independent retailers with a same-day, last mile delivery service.
oom 1hr Delivery is celebrating its fulfilment of more than 100,000 orders for the Co-op this month. The delivery service, which launched in 2017, landed the Co-op deal last year and now covers areas across the UK from Carlisle to Falmouth and throughout Wales. The service enables Co-op customers to choose from 4,500 products via an online ordering system and they can track their deliveries in real time. Founder and Chief Executive Kevin Williams said: “We are delighted to reach this milestone in such a short space of time. We cannot underestimate the value of this partnership to our customers over the last 10 months. Our strategy of focusing on underserved areas within the UK has enabled the Co-op to offer a same day delivery service to customers who, arguably, need it the most. “We look forward to growing our delivery coverage with the Co-op to an impressive 268 stores by the end
of September, to become the largest last mile delivery partner and will work tirelessly through the winter months to continue to serve customers new and old.” Zoom plans to branch out to retail later this year, supporting independent retailers with a same-day, last mile delivery service.
Zoom 1hr Delivery recently moved into a new head office in Shrewsbury, with a national driver fleet delivering around the country in branded vehicles. It plans to branch out to retail later this year, supporting independent retailers with a same-day, last mile delivery service. Earlier this year, the business used crowdfunding platform Seedrs to attract investors, raising almost £600,000. It plans to use the funds to expand its delivery fleet, improve its website, and expand its team.
