Evri

What Evri does

Evri is a UK-domiciled, Apollo Global Management-owned parcel delivery and logistics platform formed from the 1974-founded Grattan Mail Order business (rebranded from Hermes UK in 2021). Following its May 2025 merger with DHL eCommerce UK — a deal unconditionally approved by the CMA in September 2025 and giving DHL Group a significant minority stake — the company operates as the UK's largest dedicated parcel delivery network, handling over 1 billion parcels annually through a combined fleet of 30,000+ couriers and 8,000 vehicles. Its product stack comprises standard and next-day home/parcel-shop delivery, a 10,000+ location ParcelShop and Locker drop-off network (expanding to 22,000+ by 2030), international shipping to 200+ countries, omni-channel fulfilment including a new £4m Barnsley centre, and a premium Evri Premium DHL tier. Technology investments centre on Veri Snap AI (an AWS Bedrock / Amazon Nova Lite generative-AI pipeline verifying 90 million delivery photos per month), computer-vision proofs of delivery, AGV robotics at the Rugby hub, and voice integrations through Alexa and Google Assistant.

Direct peers

• InPost UK: Locker-network-led parcel delivery and PUDO specialist operating across the UK and Europe. Closest direct competitor to Evri's locker strategy and the source of Evri's newly hired Head of Returns.
• Yodel: UK parcel delivery carrier focused on residential and SME e-commerce parcels. Closely comparable to Evri in customer segment and service mix, with similar challenges around brand reputation and peak-season capacity.
• DPD UK: One of the UK's largest parcel delivery networks owned by La Poste/GeoPost. Directly competes with Evri on next-day B2B and consumer parcel services with a comparable pickup/drop-off infrastructure.
• Royal Mail (International Distribution Services): The UK's incumbent universal parcel and letter delivery provider, now under IDS ownership. Most direct competitor to Evri in domestic UK parcel delivery, with overlapping B2B and consumer customer bases.

Broad incumbents

• FedEx UK: Global integrator with UK domestic parcel operations. Competes with Evri Premium on time-definite B2B and international shipments, particularly for enterprise customers.
• Amazon Logistics: Amazon's owned last-mile delivery operation that both competes with Evri and is a customer. Represents the biggest structural threat as Amazon continues insourcing parcel volume previously handled by Evri.
• UPS UK: Global integrator offering domestic UK and international parcel services. Overlaps with Evri Premium and Evri International on cross-border B2B shipping to 200+ countries.

Emerging players

• Parcel2Go: Multi-carrier parcel aggregator that partners with Evri for physical drop-off and delivery. Functionally adjacent — sits between Evri and the consumer/SME market, leveraging Evri's network alongside competitors.

Regional players

• DX Group: UK-based parcel and courier services business focused on B2B, documents, and secure delivery. Comparable to Evri's SME/Corporate segment but with a more document-heavy mix.
• Whistl: UK door-to-door distribution specialist handling part-trload and parcels. Operates as a final-mile alternative for bulk mailers and e-commerce retailers — overlapping with Evri's B2B delivery offering.
