Parcel delivery company Hived has opened a new depot in the UK capital of London that will enable it to handle up to 40,000 parcels a day and meet the growing delivery needs in the region.
The new site at SEGRO Park Hayes is part of the company’s expansion of its tech-enabled logistics network, with plans to scale its business to new cities in the UK over the next 18 months.
Murvah Iqbal, CEO and co-founder of Hived, said, “Hived was founded with a commitment to improve the parcel delivery experience by putting end consumers first with our tech-enabled platform.
“With our innovative parcel sortation system, which can intelligently flex to accommodate rapid increases in parcel volume as expected in the next year for our service, alongside heavier diversification of postcodes, this expanded site allows us to be all the more effective and efficient in delivering quality to Londoners.
“This latest expansion is also proof that our multi-site logistics model, with purpose-built technology designed for the e-commerce age, is scalable nationally. The next step for Hived will be to replicate the same levels of service we provide to retailers and customers across other parts of the UK.”
