Zoom 1hr Delivery has celebrated fulfilling 100,000 orders for the Co-op this week, a huge milestone for the Shropshire-based delivery company.
Zoom landed the partnership deal with the popular grocery store last year and has been expanding its operations ever since.
They now cover areas across the UK from Carlisle to Falmouth and throughout Wales.
During the pandemic, Zoom experienced rapid growth across its platform, which helped them to secure the partnership with the Co-op, as well as launching in multiple areas across the UK, offering a speedy delivery service in rural parts of the country.
Since launching in 2017, Zoom 1hr Delivery has been on a mission to deliver further and faster across most parts of the United Kingdom. The company recently moved into a new head office in Bicton Heath, boasting 20 employees as well as a national driver fleet delivering around the country in their distinctive Zoom 1hr cars.
Founder and CEO, Kev Williams expressed his excitement on the company’s success: “We are delighted to reach this milestone in such a short space of time. We cannot underestimate the value of this partnership to our customers over the last 10 months. Our strategy of focusing on underserved areas within the UK has enabled the Co-op to offer a same day delivery service to customers who, arguably, need it the most.
“We look forward to growing our delivery coverage with the Co-op to an impressive 268 stores by the end of September to become the largest last mile delivery partner and will work tirelessly through the winter months to continue to serve customers new and old.”
The delivery service also plans to branch out to retail later this year, supporting independent retailers with a same-day, last mile delivery service.
Home deliveries of groceries with Zoom 1hr can be ordered through the Co-op website. Takeaway deliveries from local food businesses can be ordered via the Zoom 1hr App, which is available on Apple and android.
