The HelloFresh delivery fleet is being trialled in the UK to help the brand get its signature meal kits to customers in a timely manner without having to rely on third-party delivery companies.
The delivery trial is taking place from the brand's Beehive distribution center, and will cover the Birmingham and West Midlands areas. The service will offer customers an ultra-fast delivery option with the ability to choose a 30-minute slot and more. The launch of the branded delivery van fleet comes as a first for the category and will also help the brand shift towards reducing its CO2 emissions.
COO of HelloFresh UK Sarah Norman commented on the HelloFresh delivery fleet saying, "Our mission is to change the way people eat forever – empowering our customers to make choices that are right for them. Building our own last mile solution is an important step to further deliver this promise. This will allow us unprecedented contact with our customers and put further control in their hands, deciding when they want their deliveries to be made."
