Managing director of Durham Markets Colin Wilkes said: "Durham Markets has been serving people in Durham for nearly 170 years; it's vital that we continue to evolve to meet our customers' needs and our new delivery service is an exciting next step for us. We'll start relatively small, with a handful of traders, and then plan to grow from there, with more and more traders joining the online shop."

Nick Mason of ZMOVE said: "You can't always get to the shops when you want to, or when you need to, making delivery really useful. We at ZMOVE want to ensure that delivery service does not impact the environment so have developed a zero-emissions offer using electric bikes and cars.

"We're thrilled to be working with Durham Markets Company. It's a great opportunity to bring our 'green' service to Durham and to enable local independent businesses to deliver."
