URB-IT ROLLS OUT SUSTAINABLE LAST MILE DELIVERY SERVICES FOR EVRI (PREVIOUSLY HERMES) IN GLASGOW
Urb-it, the rapidly growing sustainable logistics platform, today announces it is rolling out its services in Glasgow with Evri, the largest dedicated parcel delivery company in the UK.
Following commencing the partnership in London, Manchester, Liverpool and most recently Bristol, Urb-it and Evri have decided to launch operations in Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, with more than 600 000 inhabitants (1.8 million in the metropolitan areas).
Urb-it's customer-centric last mile sustainable delivery services, conducted exclusively by its couriers on its e-cargo bike fleet across Europe, significantly reduce last mile C02 emissions, urban congestion, and air pollution. Urb-it is B Corp certified, committed to maintaining the highest standard of environmental performance, social governance, public transparency, and legal accountability.
Hannes Skugghall, Chief Mission Officer at Urb-it, comments:
"On top of the recently communicated expansion to Bristol, it is great that we continue to grow our partnership with Evri. The recent expansions further strengthen our business and testament that we are executing on our strategy. With this, we are happy to increase our presence in Glasgow and help to increase the city's livability, decreasing air- and noise pollution while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions and improving road safety".
