To collect someone or to pick someone - UK English

idioms british-english

I heard it yesterday, straight from the horse's mouth, from a UK native speaker receptionist, laud and clear:

Someone is on the way down to collect you.

Also, couple of days before, one the first round of my interview, she also used this simplified version:

Someone is on the way down for you.

..useful in case you want to bypass the dilemma.

Sorry for posting a very similar question, but my original was incorrectly marked as duplicate so no additional answers cannot be posted. Sorry for posting and instantly answering it, but I believe it's a valuable input.
