UK parcel delivery company Evri has announced a two-year extension of its decade-long partnership with Debenhams Group, which has been in place since 2014.
Under the new deal, Evri will become one of the group’s key delivery partners, ensuring customers receive their orders quickly and securely from brands such as Debenhams, PrettyLittleThing, boohoo, boohooMAN and Karen Millen.
According to Evri, Debenhams Group customers will also benefit from the launch of Evri’s new £50m (US$68.5m) locker strategy, giving shoppers more choice over how they receive their orders to suit their daily schedules.
David Saenz, chief commercial officer, Evri, commented, “We’re thrilled to further bolster our relationship with the Debenhams Group and its brands, as we move into this next phase of our partnership.
“In what has been over a decade of working together, it’s been incredible for both businesses to grow alongside one another, and this is evidenced in the increased volume of parcels we are forecasting to deliver to their customers this year.
“This is an exciting time for Evri, as we invest in doubling our ParcelShop and locker network by 2030, as well as the announcement of our proposed merger with DHL eCommerce UK, all of which makes it particularly special for us that we can continue to strengthen our long-term client relationships.”
Dan Finley, chief executive officer, Debenhams Group, added, “As a global business serving millions of customers, delivering a seamless and reliable service is our top priority. Today’s shoppers expect speed, flexibility and full visibility when it comes to receiving their items, whenever and however they choose to shop.
“This is exactly what we have found in our partnership with Evri. As we continue to scale our marketplace model, we’re delighted to extend this partnership with Evri, giving customers greater choice and convenience as they shop thousands of brands at Debenhams Group.”
