Glanbia Ireland is collaborating with An Post subsidiary PostPoint to bring a range of convenient services to Glanbia Ireland branches and the rural communities they serve.

Using the long-established PostPoint service, shoppers will be able to collect and return purchases in Glanbia Ireland branches from more than 180 online retailers.

In addition to the parcel collection and return services, all 32 Glanbia Ireland branches will also offer PostPoint services including bill payment, gift cards, stamps, mobile top-up and National Lottery Quickpick and scratch cards.

Paul Byrne, PostPoint National Sales Manager said: “With parcel collections and returns booming in recent years and many more people shopping from home, we’re delighted to partner with Glanbia Ireland to provide a convenient local facility for Irish online shoppers.”

Glanbia Ireland’s local branches are often the heartbeat of many rural communities and offering these services is ‘Living Proof’ of the part we’re playing in helping to secure the long-term sustainability of rural Ireland.

Senan Foley, Head of Retail at Glanbia Ireland said: “Our branches and all our dedicated people have been servicing the needs of farmers and rural communities for decades. This collaboration with PostPoint is the latest expansion of our offering and acts as an important part of our commitment to offer a broad range of services to the communities we operate in. We look forward to continuing to build on this long into the future.”
