Coll-8 and Spar-owner BWG to roll out parcels service at 1,100 stores

Start-up delivery software firm Coll-8 has clinched an agreement with the owner of Spar, Mace, and Londis for shoppers to pick up parcels at 1,100 shops, a move it says will shake up delivery-and-returns for all online purchases made in the Republic.

Coll-8 and its drop2shop brand is the first major venture of Dave Field, who was a co-founder of delivery firm Nightline which was sold to UPS three years ago.
