Choose your favourite courier with Collect+ SEND
As the UK vaccination programme continues its successful roll out around the country, people continue to safely return to some of the routines that they enjoyed pre-March 2020. In parallel, despite new found freedoms from Covid restrictions and spending more time out of home, we’re all still doing more shopping online that ever.
Local services have never been more important to UK communities
The Collect+ network of more than 10,000 trusted stores is made up of thousands of newsagents, supermarkets and forecourts as well as convenience stores. Convenience stores in particular have experienced a boom in local appreciation over the past year, as people under lockdown turned to them for essential day-to-day purchases, or as a means to avoid crowds in busier shopping destinations.
International Women’s Day offers inspiration to all of us
International Women’s Day celebrates the achievements and stories of women from all walks of life and 2021 was no different.

This year it was great to see a variety of women who are boosting female representation in UK convenience retail sector receive dedicated credit for their hard work and determination.
As couriers get cleaner, one option remains evergreen
In the battle against climate change and poor air quality, couriers continue to strive towards making their services greener. Over the years we’ve seen all sorts, from the transfer over to electric delivery fleets to electric trikes and beyond. Similarly, many of the UK’s larger cities have introduced Ultra Low Emission Zones that incur a charge on the vehicles most guilty of belching out pollution. These, we can all agree, are steps in the right direction.
