Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Dulux Decorator Centre has expanded its delivery options; taking customer feedback on board, Dulux Decorator Centre has introduced an e-cargo bike service at two stores in London.
The new e-cargo bikes provide London-based customers with a fast and efficient option that promises to deliver within just 90 minutes. In partnership with Absolutely, a same day courier service, Dulux Decorator Centre’s new delivery service utilises e-cargo bikes to provide a practical solution for London-based professionals that are looking for speedy deliveries in a busy city hub.
Duncan Lochhead, commercial sustainability manager at Dulux Decorator Centre, said: “At Dulux Decorator Centre, we understand that fast and reliable delivery is crucial for decorators and contractors across the country. In busy city centres like London, it is important to source solutions that can beat the traffic and ensure supplies arrive quickly and conveniently, whilst avoiding the need for decorators to down tools.
“We also know that our customers are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, with many seeking more sustainable solutions for their operations. That’s why we are delighted to announce our new e-cargo bikes. They are not only setting a new benchmark for convenience in the industry, but the environmental credentials of the e-cargo bikes will help our customers to reduce their carbon footprint too.”
The Absolutely e-cargo bikes also offer a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional delivery vans, and are ideal for high-density, short-distance jobs, such as those found in the UK’s capital. ULEZ compliant, and with zero emissions, the e-cargo bikes ensure decorators and painting contractors can choose a more sustainable delivery option – helping them to meet their own sustainability goals, all while being able to complete jobs more efficiently.
Faye Calland, sales and marketing director at Absolutely, commented: “Absolutely is thrilled to join forces with Dulux Decorator Centre to introduce a rapid electric cargo bike service to their London customers. Sustainability is at the core of the Absolutely operations, and we are proud to boast one of the largest electric cargo bike fleets in London. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to deliver efficient, eco-friendly results while providing swift and reliable delivery solutions.”
