PROFILE
THE QUESTION EVERYONE asks David Saenz , UK General Manager of Stuart , is how the disruptive tech company came up with the name . “ It ’ s a quirky story ,” Saenz explains . “ The two founders of the company were on a plane , talking about their idea , and the flight attendant who was serving them was called Stuart . He was engaging and personable , and they thought this represented well what the brand should be .”
Stuart is an on demand delivery platform that started out in France and Spain a year ago and has recently launched in the UK . Set up by entrepreneurs Clément Benoit and Benjamin Chemla , Stuart changes the way goods are delivered in cities , connecting retailers with couriers in a way that means customers have incredible control over when and where they receive their orders . In short , it is a B2B operation providing retailers the opportunity to go beyond the usual ‘ three to five working days ’ or ‘ next day delivery ’ options for their customers , who are able to choose an immediate delivery . Or at a precise time on a specific day .
