Lewis swaps eBay for Collect+
Collect+ has announced the appointment of Mark Lewis as CEO. Lewis joins Collect+ from online retailer eBay, where he was UK Managing Director.
He brings a wealth of online retail and consumer experience to Collect+, as well as the proven ability to drive business development success.
Under his leadership eBay UK has enjoyed a return to almost 20% year-on-year growth. Before eBay, Lewis started his career in advertising working for St. Luke’s agency, before completing an MBA at INSEAD in France. He then worked for Boston Consulting Group, focusing on marketing and strategy projects for the retail and consumer goods industry.
Lewis said: “Collect+ has enormous potential and I am delighted to be joining the team. Having long worked in retail, I understand the key roles that convenient deliveries and returns play in securing brand loyalty and providing a fantastic customer experience. Collect+ has become a breakthrough delivery and returns alternative for retailers and consumers. ”
Set up as a joint-venture between PayPoint and Home Delivery Network in 2009, Collect+ allows online shoppers to pick up or drop off parcels at their choice of 3,500 specially selected convenience stores. All stores were chosen because they offer security, convenience and long opening hours.
