Shipping giant PPL is experiencing another peak season, which means record numbers of parcel deliveries and increased interest in delivery boxes. In an interview with CEO Petr Horák, you'll find out how the busiest time of the year is going, what impact the pandemic has had on online shopping and why boxes represent the future of efficient delivery. Plus, Horák reveals when it's ideal to order Christmas gifts so they arrive on time.
Petr Horák also shares what challenges and opportunities are presented by the growing interest in eco-friendly solar boxes or how Czechs' shopping habits are changing. The behind-the-scenes of delivery is also interesting - from the number of cars on the road to efforts to integrate boxes directly into apartment buildings. If you're wondering why drones and autonomous vehicles have yet to replace human drivers, the interview offers that perspective as well.
The interview also provides a personal look at Peter Horak's journey from temp to the CEO's chair at the family-owned company, now part of global player Deutsche Post DHL. Curious about how the company has adapted to the international market, why customers prefer delivery boxes, or how PPL plans for the future?
