Leaders in Logistics

The out-of-home (OOH) delivery sector in the UK is heading for a crucial “tipping point” after a slower than expected start, according to experts at the Leaders in Logistics Last Mile event held in London last week, with the industry gaining a lot of attention currently and an increasing number of players looking to get a slice of the market. #OOH #lastmile #delivery #ecommerce #parcels #LiLLastMile24 Nick Landon Alan Barrie YEEP!

InPost has acquired the remaining 70% stake in Menzies' Express and Newstrade logistics operations for £60.4m, granting it full control over these segments while retaining a 30% shareholding in MDS, which was not part of the deal. This acquisition strengthens InPost’s UK logistics capabilities, enabling faster, more cost-effective, and sustainable services, including the expansion of next-day B2C parcel locker services. The deal enhances InPost’s market position in the UK and capitalizes on growing consumer demand for parcel lockers, further boosting its e-commerce logistics offerings. https://lnkd.in/en7SxDgt

🌟 What an inspiring and productive week! 🌟 Last week, the Leaders in Logistics summit in London was a success. Special thanks to Nick Landon for his insightful keynote on consumer behavior trends, highlighting the growing demand for flexible, low-cost delivery and return options, while emphasizing the importance of balancing these expectations with strategic investments in final-mile infrastructure and technology to ensure sustainable and efficient logistics operations. And to our Managing Director Simon Seeger for presenting on the future of Last Mile Technologies with AI. Exciting times are ahead as we had impactful talks with some emerging innovators committed to sustainable inner-city delivery, including Rob King, Founder and CEO of Zedify. Their dedication to a greener future is truly inspiring. We also had the pleasure of catching up with Christian Oestergaard MSc, Bernhard Bukovc, Hannah Johnson, Bastian Schilling and Jonathan Bouaziz! Thank you for the rich conversations that will undoubtedly shape the future of logistics. Looking forward to seeing how these connections and insights will drive the next phase of innovation in our industry! 🚀 #Logistics #Innovation #LastMileDelivery #LeadersInLogistics
