Better Bankside has partnered with Delivery Mates to bring the Green Logistics Centre to Bankside. The Green Logistics Centre (GLC) will support local businesses with their deliveries and help to cut costs, reduce emissions and improve air quality. The first 10 participant businesses will use the GLC for free; receiving up to three deliveries per week with a secure, micro-logistics centre to keep their stock.
The GLC aims to:
- Consolidate deliveries coming into Bankside
- Reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality
- Champion low emission last mile delivery
- Provide valuable space and cost savings for local businesses
How it works:
- Divert your delivery to the GLC
- Delivery Mates will receive, manage and store your delivery in the GLC
- Request what you need through an online platform and check your stock
- Receive your items by cargo bike at a time that suits you
Why take part?
- Cost savings – Can you save money on delivery fees or by bulk ordering? We can deliver what you need.
- Leadership – get recognised by clients, employees, and peers as a sustainability leader by reducing your delivery footprint.
- Flexible operations – Staff not in when the delivery is due to arrive? No one in the office or perhaps your businesses hasn’t opened yet? No missed deliveries as we can receive your delivery for you.
- More space – Would you like to hold more stock without losing space? Or gain some space by relocating your stock?

Kevin Savage, CEO of Delivery Mates commented: “We are honoured to be part of such an impactful project.
