Steve Marjoram, Parcelhub MD, said: “Following positive feedback from customers who have trialled the new Yodel small parcels two-hour delivery slot service, we are delighted to be able to roll it out to both our Parcelhub and Whistl Parcels customers.

“Our ambition across our portfolio of parcel brokerage services is to ensure that we can scale the benefits typically only available to large volume customers via Parcelhub so that smaller volume customers are able to meet the increasingly specific delivery demands of the consumer.”
