Absolutely Courier is delighted to announce the launch of our new London Eco-Hub in Holborn, as we continue to grow our fleet of zero-emission, electric cargo bikes. The site provides an additional 5,000 sq ft. of space and allows our business to expand our central London same day, fulfillment, and overnight delivery services. We’re excited to be able to get parcels and deliveries to more customers than ever, reaching into new areas.
The site will also allow us to provide a temperature-controlled and ambient fulfillment solution, with our rapidly expanding fleet of electric vehicles completing any first or final mile requirements. Our electric cargo bikes, bicycles and van-based courier services allow us to collect and deliver urgent packages, food boxes, prescriptions and PPE to your door. Wherever you are, in London, we have a solution for your delivery needs.
We have already invested in over 30 electric cargo bikes ranging from Urban Arrows to EAVs (Electric Assisted Vehicles), and 90% of our APC UK overnight collections are currently collected or delivered on an electric van or cargo bike for our central London client base. We’ve committed to increasing our electric cargo bike fleet by 60% by the end of 2021. We can’t wait to expand our fleet to reach more areas.
Stuart Godman, the CEO of Absolutely Courier said, ‘As a business we’re in great shape, and despite the recent difficulties of the pandemic, the launch of our Eco Hub is something we’ve been planning for some time to ensure our business is set up for long term success; supporting our valued customers, as well as the capital’s zero-emissions target.’
Absolutely Courier is committed to long-term sustainability and zero-emissions goals with a view to expanding into the wider community.
Stuart continued, ‘At a time when our customers across London are passionate about protecting the environment, whilst having to adapt their businesses and accelerate their online presence, we are committed to supporting their growth and providing them with improved service options to help them flourish in the years ahead. Our new London Eco-Hub is just the start of this commitment.’
We’ve seen our top 10 customers achieve an average year-on-year growth of 36%, which is something to celebrate amidst the challenges of the pandemic. These customers come from a variety of sectors, such as food and drink as well as healthcare. They’ve shown considerable local growth as consumers continue to find new ways to source their products throughout the pandemic.
The London Eco-Hub is one way in which we’re continuing our growth into 2021, as our sustainable same day courier service is set to keep growing and improving. CEO, Stuart Godman, added, ‘Our London Eco Hub and expanding fleet of extra-large, zero-emissions, electric cargo bikes will enable Absolutely to continue delivering an excellent standard of service – giving our customers more environmentally focused options for fulfillment, storage, and distribution.’ He is proud that the company ‘adheres to the latest legislations and builds on our ambition to be a true ambassador for carbon neutrality.’
