In 2019, founder Ricardo Osei watched his mother wait three days for a package that was marked "delivered." The box had been left with a neighbor two streets over with no notification, no recourse, no accountability. He quit his logistics consulting job the following Monday.
Starting with six electric cargo bikes in East London and a tracking app cobbled together over 72 sleepless hours, Ricogreenexpress handled its first 200 deliveries for local restaurants and boutique shops. Every single one arrived on time.
By 2021, the fleet had grown to 400 vehicles across 12 UK cities. By 2023, the company had expanded to North America, handling over a million deliveries per month. Today, Ricogreenexpress operates in 180+ cities across 3 continents — and the cardboard-note era is over.
