Hot off the heels of its positive Q1 results, InPost, the out-of-home delivery and parcel locker leader, is celebrating once again after hitting a major milestone of 7,000 lockers in the UK. The impressive result comes following exceptional demand from consumers and retailers nationwide, underpinned by the locker leaders’ aggressive growth plans.
To put this into perspective, everyone lives within a stones throw of a Post Office and there are around 11,500 across the country – with 7,000 lockers InPost is becoming widespread across the country and with their current rate of acceleration there’ll almost certainly be one close to either your home or where you work.
We’ve seen significant demand for InPost lockers and thanks to this latest 7,000 milestone, we’ve now achieved a substantial 40% increase in locations since March last year. The locker market remains extremely strong, and we want to help our retail customers capitalise on this demand.
Our aim is that InPost is ubiquitous and that every store has an InPost Locker, and every UK consumer uses our lockers as part of their daily lives. So, this milestone is a big deal for us as it means we’re one step closer to making that happen.
– Neil Kuschel, UK CEO, InPost
