Customer Case Study - Nudie Jeans

 

Their Challenge

Nudie Jeans has multiple locations across London such as Seven Dials and Soho. These are notoriously busy areas and are often difficult to access during daytime hours, particularly with larger HGV vehicles.

How did First Mile help?

We set up flexible; daily collections carried out by zero-emission, electric cargo bakes in hard-to-access central London locations. Ensuring Nudie Jeans' collections were completed quickly and on time.

"For many years, we've used First Mile's services across our London stores and found them consistently efficient and reliable"
