Our take
Founded in 2015, Stuart Delivery is one of many companies operating in Europe’s competitive rapid delivery and logistics market. However, where startups such as Getir aim to deliver groceries within 15 minutes, Stuart connects businesses with its fleet of independent couriers to deliver a range of cargo.
It empowers thousands of companies across Europe by providing same-day delivery, next-day delivery and returns solutions. It works across verticals with retailers, grocery stores, restaurants and e-commerce merchants to enable smarter transportation models. Couriers on the platform complete tens of millions of deliveries annually for the biggest brands across retail, e-commerce, grocery and food. The company operates in more than 120 cities across 6 countries.
The company is focusing on establishing relationships with charging infrastructure providers and financial partners to incentivise and support couriers’ transition to electric vehicles. It continues to expand its market presence by partnering with leading brands such as Tesco and Co-op and has recently added several major UK cities to its Hub to Home service, allowing same-day delivery across much of England.
