How Parcelforce Worldwidehas made a differenceRetail concessions sited within department stores poseparticular challenges for any parcel delivery company.Many department stores require deliveries to be booked in aconsolidated fashion, to avoid a constant trickle of consignmentsinto customer facing areas. Having delivered point of salematerial on behalf of Meads Limited for well over a decade,Parcelforce Worldwide depot managers have developed anencyclopaedic knowledge of the delivery procedures at the siteswhere Meads’ client, (a leading UK retailer) is based. LocalParcelforce Worldwide depot managers advise their drivers onthe ‘Goods In’ procedures at each site, so that urgent point ofsale materials can reach staff at each concession in time for specialpromotions and product launches.

Understanding the challenges our clients face

Brett Mander, Account Manager at Meads Limited says:“Parcelforce Worldwide definitely offers value for money. I get thekind of proactivity, professionalism and reliability you’d expect fromdelivery products pitched at this price point. They may not be thecheapest on the market, but they’re certainly not the mostexpensive either.”

How our new global products have made a difference
