UK delivery company set to close after entering liquidation

Quiver Delivery, based in London, launched back in 2021 with the aim of becoming “the physical connection between brands and their customers”.

The company offered immediate, same-day, or next-day delivery to 86% of homes in London and was completely emissionless, using only human or electricity-powered vehicles.

These included bicycles, e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, e-mopeds, e-cars, and e-vans.

The Quiver Delivery website asks: “When was the last time that you had a satisfactory delivery experience? Your order arrived where you wanted it, when you wanted it?”

It added that this should be achievable “every time”, but it’s “rare” – not with Quiver.

The website continues: “We’re setting the standard for e-commerce delivery.

“Simple integrations, a clean customer interface and cutting edge technology under the hood means your delivery experience is truly magical. Deliveries are fast. Emissionless. Trackable. Editable.

“Courier services generally scrape the lower bound of what’s acceptable. Quiver’s couriers are proud to be an extension of the brands we deliver for.”

Quiver Delivery enters liquidation

However, after five years, Quivery Delivery is set to close down after entering liquidation.

Ian Michael Rose and Paul Mallatratt from Abbey Taylor Jones Limited were appointed as liquidators this week, according to The Gazette.

This came after a petition to wind up the company was presented to the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) last October.

A petition to wind up is a formal legal document filed in court by a creditor to force a company into compulsory liquidation because it cannot pay its debts.
