Cargo-Bike Courier Pedal and Post Enters Liquidation After January Shutdown

Evri reports temporary Oxford delays from the collapse, with routes now reorganised.

Overview

  • Official filings show Brett Lee Barton and Margaret Carter of BK Plus have been appointed joint liquidators by members and creditors.
  • About 60 people, including employed staff and self‑employed riders in Oxford and London, have lost work as the business winds down.
  • Founder Christopher Benton attributed the failure to the loss of a major client, which he did not identify.
  • Evri said the sudden cessation of its e‑cargo bike partner caused short‑term disruption locally and issued an apology to affected customers.
  • One Oxford resident reported three late‑January parcels missing for more than a week before Evri reshipped them on February 10.
