UK retail-tech start-up strengthens Business with 600+ interested stores, boosts sales and announces new job openings
Coventry, UK – WeCarryBags, the British retail-technology company reinventing brick-and-mortar shopping, is deepening its relationships with independent boutiques and national chains across the United Kingdom. The company’s hands-free shopping and delivery service – which enables shoppers to drop off purchases and have them delivered to their home, hotel or office – has already sparked significant interest from more than 600 partner stores. Research indicates that retailers who offer the service can increase sales by as much as 120%.
Partnerships built on innovation and growth
WeCarryBags’ For Your Store programme combines logistics, marketing and customer experience tools to help retailers grow. Partner stores appear on the company’s platform, giving them expanded brand visibility and the ability to reach shoppers beyond their local catchment area. By offering unique delivery options – shoppers can buy in-store and have purchases delivered later, retailers see higher dwell times and larger basket sizes. The company’s research suggests stores that adopt hands-free shopping see a 120% boost in sales.
Store owners also report improvements in customer loyalty, noting that shoppers appreciate the convenience of being able to shop without carrying bags and are more likely to return. WeCarryBags offers customised service and flexible pick-up options as well as 24/7 support, ensuring that each partner can tailor the service to their business model.
Retailer voices
Since joining the WeCarryBags network, several fashion boutiques and department stores have reported tangible benefits. One London retailer noted that footfall increased as soon as the hands-free service launched; shoppers spent more time browsing and were more willing to make additional purchases. A Birmingham boutique said the service’s personal shopping feature attracted new customers from outside the city, driving both in-store and online sales. Another independent shop in Manchester said that the hands-free delivery and marketing support improved its digital presence, describing the partnership as a “complete boost” to its business. Collectively, these testimonials echo the company’s data: WeCarryBags is becoming a catalyst for brick-and-mortar growth.
Recruiting talent to sustain rapid growth
To support its expanding network and technological ambitions, WeCarryBags is recruiting new team members. The company emphasises diversity, inclusivity and flexibility, encouraging candidates from varied backgrounds to apply. At its core, WeCarryBags operates a sustainable logistics model that reduces carbon emissions and connects people with their purchases.
The company advocates a culture of unity in diversity and provides mental-health first aiders for staff. It offers flexible working options, recognising that comfort and productivity go hand-in-hand, and invests in employees’ progress with access to online courses, mentorship and networking opportunities. Team members know that their work transforms the retail experience, supports small businesses and promotes inclusivity. To sustain its rapid growth, the company currently has two open positions across technology and operations; interested candidates can apply via the company’s careers page or the UK government’s DWP Find a Job service.
Supporting the UK economy and high streets
WeCarryBags was founded to tackle the physical barriers that make shopping difficult for families, tourists and people with mobility challenges. By encouraging people to stay longer on the high street and by making in-store purchases easier to manage, the service supports the vibrancy of British retail and protects the traditional shopping experience. The company’s efforts not only drive revenue for small and medium-sized businesses but also contribute to local employment and tourism.
“With every new partner store and every new recruit, we are building a community that champions the future of the high street,” said co-founder Hirali. “Our goal is to make shopping joyful and accessible for everyone while giving retailers the tools they need to thrive.”
