In one of the biggest logistic industry news stories of recent times, it has been announced that DHL eCommerce UK will merge with Evri.
Evri and DHL Join Forces
A transformational acquisition, Evri, one of the UK’s largest parcel delivery companies, will join forces with DHL eCommerce UK to deliver over a billion parcels and a billion business letters each year.
Martijn de Lange, Evri’s CEO, said that ‘by combining Evri’s scale and innovation with DHL eCommerce UK's best-in-class premium van network, we are creating the pre-eminent parcel delivery group in the UK.’

Offering more efficient, far-reaching, and innovative solutions
This new group will bring together the cost-effective parcel delivery services that Evri is renowned for with the premium shipping and delivery network of DHL eCommerce UK.
Their partnership will allow for an increased range of parcel delivery services, which includes next day delivery, secure services for items such as computers or phones, and one of the largest out-of-home networks with 15,000 UK access points in shops and lockers.
The combined Group will bring together over 30,000 couriers and van drivers, 12,000 colleagues, and a fleet of 8,000 vehicles to deliver over 1 billion parcels and 1 billion letters annually.
