A quick pick-me-up for couriers

Xpreso aims to take the ‘sorry we missed you’ problem and waiting times out of deliveries, writes Trish Dromey.

For the winner of the 2014 Best Young Entrepreneur Award, Eamon Keane, it all began with a long wait for a fast-food delivery.

“I waited for over an hour wondering if the delivery was coming or whether the driver had got lost and I thought there must be a better way,” says the 28-year-old entrepreneur, whose company, Xpreso, uses cutting-edge technology to create a direct link between delivery couriers and consumers.
