Flagship store and training centre launched following total overhaul at key NW location
The Mail Boxes Etc Manchester Piccadilly service centre has been relaunched as a flagship store for the North of England.
It will now double up as a training centre for the company’s national franchise network.
Mail Boxes Etc is a third-party provider of shipping, fulfilment, print and marketing solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises and consumers across the globe, with a network of more than 1,800 franchise locations in 48 countries, including more than 100 in the UK.
The Italian-owned company has now completed a total overhaul and relaunch of the Lever Street store in Manchester city centre, which previously suffered significant flooding damage in late 2023.
Mail Boxes Etc Learning & Development Manager, Lauren Singleton, said: “We’re incredibly proud to relaunch our Manchester Piccadilly store as a national flagship outlet and training centre for our national network.
“As a brand, Mail Boxes Etc is currently bucking the trend on UK high streets and is one of the few chain store outlets opening more stores.
“We believe that’s because our service range meets a growing need, especially with the boom in ecommerce and working-from-home businesses, as well as many companies who in the past might have traded locally now trading nationally and internationally, who want a professional solution for shipping worldwide, or a postal mailbox separate to their operational or residential address.”
She added: “For shipping, we take away the burden of choosing the right shipping partner for each package and help with documentation to ensure packages arrive with less likelihood of delays, and our packing solutions are extremely attractive to people exporting and importing fragile items.
“The Manchester Piccadilly outlet will now be a central component of our training ongoing, while also providing access to all our facilities for the people living and working in the vibrant heart of one of the UK’s most exciting cities.”
Mail Boxes Etc is part of MBE Worldwide, which in 2023, served more than one million business customers worldwide through its multi-brand operations, generating €1.4bn.
