London personal delivery startup sees 60 per cent rise in turnover

A London delivery startup has seen its turnover jump by 60 per cent while the country has had limited access to shops.

Peyk, which concentrates on person-to-person deliveries, has seen turnover rise significantly during lockdown, as well as experiencing a 45 per cent increase in users.

The company uses personal couriers to deliver items instantly from one household to any other in London, calling itself the “Uber of person-to-person deliveries”.

Since the beginning of lockdown, the number of people signing up to act as couriers for the service has risen by 20 per cent.

Peyk founder and CEO, Salman Moghimi, commented: “Peer-to-peer couriers are widely used across Asia and the Middle East, when sending things to friends and family.

“Peyk is now bringing a similar service to the capital, revolutionising the courier service industry and transforming the way Londoners send items to one another.

“Whether a user wants to send an important card to a family member, or finds themselves in a tricky situation without any keys, Peyk is the perfect solution.

“Via just three clicks on our app, we can provide a personal courier to save the day and within 20 minutes an item will be en route to its destination.”

“The increase in demand that we have seen for Peyk during the lockdown, confirms that in today’s 24/7 world, individuals need to be able to send whatever they want, to whoever they want, wherever they want to across the city they live in and whenever they need to.

“We only see this accelerating post lock-down, as more and more Londoners successfully try, and love, our revolutionary delivery service.”
