An award-winning East Yorkshire start-up has partnered with University of Hull to develop a new online tool to help deliveries go green.
The brainchild of Elloughton’s Paul Needler - ‘the accidental entrepreneur’ who won the Innovation and Technology Award at the Hull Live Business Awards 2021 - IParcelBox is a smart residential parcel delivery locker, providing a time-saving solution to missed courier calls.
With increasing online purchases seen as ecommerce evolves - accerelated massively by the pandemic when we were home to colect - environmental concerns are now being studied. Having established the technology, now rolling out, the surveyor who spent much of his working life in London before returning north to develop his patented product, was keen to find out whether delivery to door or a pick-up point was more sustainable, avoiding repeat calls.
