Parcel Pending by Quadient Open Network Locker at Morrisons Daily in UK
Paris
Quadient (Euronext Paris: QDT), a global automation platform powering secure and sustainable business connections, today announced a new partnership with Morrisons. The partnership will see Parcel Pending by Quadient parcel lockers installed at 230 Morrisons Daily stores by spring 2025.
All of Morrisons circ. 1,000 wholly owned Morrisons Daily convenience stores have a parcel solution offer and this new partnership will enable consumers to pick up and return parcels securely from Royal Mail, Evri, DPD and UPS.
Michael Weightman, Convenience Trading Director at Morrisons, said, 'Customers have told us that they want a broader range of services when it comes to parcel pickups and returns so we're delighted to be expanding the options available at our Morrisons Daily stores via this partnership with Quadient.'
Quadient's consumer research shows that people appreciate the positive impact businesses make by hosting lockers, for instance reducing traffic on local roads by decreasing the volume of delivery van journeys. The research also uncovered a tangible benefit for retailers; when visiting lockers hosted at stores, more than half of consumers make additional purchases.
'Our lockers seamlessly integrate into people's daily routines, making parcel pickup and drop-off more convenient than ever. This partnership with Morrisons Daily will enhance accessibility for communities across the UK,' said Katia Bourgeais Crémel, Director, Lockers Automation for Europe at Quadient. 'Our vision is to build an open, carrier-agnostic locker network that provides consumers with greater flexibility and retailers with new opportunities to engage customers—driving footfall, enhancing the shopping experience and boosting in-store sales.'
Quadient's secure parcel lockers automatically notify customers when parcels are ready for collection, providing a pickup code and barcode customers use to open the secure locker compartments. Customers returning items may use the lockers' built-in label printer, meaning they may send items back even if they don't have a printer at home.
Quadient continues to expand its locker network across key markets in the U.S., Japan and Europe. With more than 25,000 units now installed worldwide, the company continues to progress toward its long-term goal of deploying 40,000 units globally by 2030. Learn more at parcelpending.com/en-gb.

Startline survey reveals Chinese car brands gain traction among UK motorists
More than seven out of ten UK motorists are open to purchasing vehicles from emerging Chinese car manufacturers, according to Startline's June Used Car Tracker. In the survey, 72% of respondents expressed willingness to consider Chinese cars. BYD emerged as the most recognised brand among potential buyers, with 28% awareness, followed by Maxus at 19% and Chery at 14%. Other brands such as Aiways, Denza, and Jaecoo each garnered 11% while Omoda and Xpeng stood at 10%. Nio, Skywell, and GWM Ora achieved 9%, with Leapmotor, Lynk & Co, HiPhi, and Zeekr trailing. Startline Motor Finance CEO Paul Burgess said: 'Chinese manufacturers are making a concerted assault on the UK market – almost 12,000 BYDs were sold here in the first four months of the year – and our research shows that consumers are receptive to the idea of buying a car from them.' Burgess further explained that differentiation is a challenge for these new entrants. Those investing in marketing and dealer networks are seeing increased consumer awareness, with BYD as a prime example. Despite this, 18% of respondents prefer established brands, 11% have quality concerns, and 7% wish to support British manufacturers. Additional concerns include parts availability and security, each noted by 4% of respondents, and dealer support, mentioned by 2%. Burgess stated that while a small group of car buyers exhibits some hesitation, significant concerns typically associated with the quality and support offered by new Chinese automakers are notably minimal. Compiled by APD Global Research, the Startline Used Car Tracker surveyed 301 consumers and 66 dealers, providing insights into consumer perceptions and market trends. Earlier this year, Startline Motor Finance secured a five-year credit facility worth £475m ($583m) from the US bank JP Morgan. Startline offers near-prime financing solutions to approximately half of the UK's top 50 franchised car dealers and 70% of the leading 50 independent automotive retailers, based on revenue.

Pittsburgh Entrepreneurs Celebrate Grand Opening of British Swim School on June 22 to Meet Growing Demand for Swim Lessons
PITTSBURGH, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- British Swim School, North America's leading "learn to swim" provider, announced the opening of its newest location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Located at 2344 Wildwood Road in Gibsonia, British Swim School Pittsburgh invites families and community members to join its grand opening celebration on Sunday, June 22 from 1-4 p.m. The event will feature a raffle for a free month of swim lessons, food trucks, face painting, a fire truck visit, staff lifeguards available to oversee open swim time in the pool, facility tours and a special ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the occasion. British Swim School Pittsburgh is proudly owned and operated by Becky Grindle, Ryan Grindle and Traci Brown. Recognizing the need for greater access to swim lessons across all age groups, they are opening their newest British Swim School just as summer reaches its peak - a time when families and individuals visit lakes and pools to cool off. This marks the eighth location for the family- and women-led group, continuing their mission to promote water safety in the community. "We are thrilled to be celebrating the grand opening of our newest British Swim School in Pittsburgh," said Becky Grindle, franchise president of British Swim School Pittsburgh. "When we opened our first location in 2013, there were zero swim schools in the area, which made it clear how vital water safety education was for the community. Drowning can happen in less than 60 seconds if left unnoticed, and even the most experienced swimmers can face unexpected dangers in the water. That's why our commitment through British Swim School goes beyond just teaching swim strokes. We strive to build water safety awareness for individuals of all ages." For more than 40 years, British Swim School has been committed to drowning prevention. Most recently, it became the first full swim school franchise to partner with Stop Drowning Now, a nonprofit dedicated to saving lives through water safety education. The new British Swim School Pittsburgh location is open and operating Tuesdays from 4-8 p.m., Fridays from 4-7 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. -12 p.m., with expanded programming coming soon! For more information on British Swim School's programs and to book a lesson, visit or call (724) 241-8602. Follow British Swim School on Facebook and Instagram.

Jillian Sackler, philanthropist who defended husband's legacy, dies at 84
Arthur Sackler died in 1987 — nine years before the opioid OxyContin was marketed by the company as a powerful painkiller. Shortly after his death, his estate sold his share of the company to his billionaire brothers, Raymond and Mortimer, for $22.4 million. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The company's misleading advertising claim that OxyContin was nonaddictive prompted doctors to overprescribe it beginning in the 1990s. The proliferation of the medication ruined countless lives of people who became dependent on it. Advertisement In 2021, the company proposed a bankruptcy settlement in which members of the Sackler family agreed to pay $4.2 billion over nine years to resolve civil claims related to the opioid crisis. In return, they sought immunity from future lawsuits. In 2024, the US Supreme Court struck down that deal. A revised settlement was reached in 2025, with the Sacklers and Purdue agreeing to pay $7.4 billion without receiving immunity. The first payment, within three years, included $1.5 billion from the Sacklers and nearly $900 million from Purdue. Advertisement But the backlash from the crisis prompted universities and cultural institutions — including the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art — to obliterate the Sackler name from programs, buildings, and galleries, and to declare that they would no longer accept any philanthropy from the family. Jillian Sackler — a British native who was made a dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005 for her philanthropic work — mounted a concerted publicity campaign to absolve her husband of any complicity or culpability, repeatedly reminding the public that he had died long before the scandal erupted. While she stopped short of saying that the drug was the 'root cause' of the opioid crisis, she accused the company of misleading advertising. She told The Guardian that the other members of the family 'have a moral duty to help make this right and to atone for any mistakes made.' As for Arthur, she added: 'I think he would not have approved of the widespread sale of OxyContin.' The couple were avid art collectors and patrons. One art scholar described Arthur Sackler as 'a modern Medici.' The couple was associated with major cultural and academic institutions like the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution; the Sackler Wing at the Metropolitan Museum; the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at Harvard University (now part of the Harvard Art Museums); the Arthur M. Sackler Sciences Center at Clark University; and the Arthur M. Sackler Center for Health Communications and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, both at Tufts University. After Arthur Sackler died, his wife continued his philanthropic agenda. Donations from his estate and insurance benefits helped finance the Jillian and Arthur M. Sackler Wing of Galleries at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology at Peking University, the Arthur M. Sackler Colloquia at the National Academy of Sciences, and Studio International, an art magazine. Their name was removed from some, but not all, of those institutions. Advertisement Gillian Lesley Tully was born on Nov. 17, 1940, in Stoke-on-Trent, in central England south of Manchester. She changed the spelling of her first name when she moved to the United States to be with Arthur Sackler, whom she met in 1967 when he was visiting London; they married in 1980. Her father, Kenneth Tully, worked at Midland Bank (now HSBC UK). He married a colleague, Doris Queenie-Gillman Smith. Ms. Sackler had a younger brother, Brian Tully, who died in 2019, leaving her no immediate survivors except for Arthur Sackler's children from an earlier marriage. Among them is Elizabeth Sackler, a philanthropist who has described the estimated $13 billion amassed by her aunts and cousins during the opioid crisis as 'morally abhorrent.' Jillian Sackler attended New York University. The couple moved into a home on Park Avenue in Manhattan, where she continued to live after her husband's death. In her role as president and CEO of the Dame Jillian and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler Foundation for the Arts, Sciences and Humanities, Sackler referred to the other branches of her husband's family as the 'OxySacklers.' In an opinion piece in The Washington Post in 2019, she wrote that her husband had been smeared through 'guilt by association.' Advertisement 'Neither Arthur nor his heirs had anything to do with the manufacture or marketing of OxyContin,' she asserted. 'Suggestions that his philanthropy is now somehow tainted are simply false.' She added: 'Arthur is not here to answer back, but I can tell you that blaming him for OxyContin's marketing, or for any other wrongdoing by the pharmaceutical industry, is as ludicrous as blaming the inventor of the mimeograph for email spam.'
