Pick Ups and Pubs: The Hubbed Story | #222 - a podcast by Nathan Bush
from 2022-09-11T19:00:04
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by David McLean, Founder and CEO of Hubbed, a technology solution giving eCommerce businesses and their customers an alternative way to receive products. With Hubbed, customers can opt to pick up their package from their local corner shop, newsagent or petrol station at a time that suits them. Hubbed partners with all the major couriers, has around 2200 pick up locations Australia-wide and will turn on four further markets in South East Asia later this year. In this chat, David shares the benefits this solution can bring for retailers who become ‘hubs’, the sustainability impact Hubbed is making and why he’s asking for a punch in the face from me! Plus, I throw my two cents in on the future of Hubbed’s pick up locations…i’ll give you a clue, it involves a cold one.
