Delivery solutions provider Ryde expands to Manchester

Delivery service company Ryde has announced its expansion to Manchester, offering a wide range of sustainable, cost-effective and speedy delivery options to the city's retail, grocery, and pharma sector companies.

Ryde provides businesses with the technology, people, and vehicles to create integrated logistics solutions, and has helped businesses across multiple sectors manage and scale their deliveries within two short years.


The company offers sustainable delivery through a wide range of fleet options, including bicycles, electric bikes, and cargo bikes for clients needing more space for larger deliveries or multi-drops.

“Highest quality of service and offering remains at the heart of what we do at Ryde. The platform's expansion to new regions is a testament to our commitment to our customers and riders,” commented Duncan Mitchell, co-founder and chief executive at Ryde.

“The gig economy has been stigmatised due to the prevalence of short-term contracts and overall uncertainty in the field. But with Ryde coming into full play, we are promoting customer as well as rider interests. By expanding services to Manchester, we hope to continue the stellar work in helping businesses grow and transform themselves into something better.”

Last year, the company collected its seed funding, and a few months later, it has already begun expanding to major cities across the country.
