What XeroE does

XeroE Limited is a UK-based private company, founded in 2018 by Steve Evans, that provides 100% emission-free final-mile delivery services through a multi-modal platform aggregating independent zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) drivers — bicycles, cargo bikes, electric scooters, electric cars, and electric vans — onto a single booking and dispatch system. The platform supports same-day (including 90-minute urgent), next-day, multi-stop, and nominated-day delivery, with multi-drop pricing starting at £3 per drop and discounts of up to 50% versus traditional couriers. Customers book via a self-serve dashboard, direct API, or through integrations with Metapack, Shopify, and the QuickBooks Sustainable Marketplace. The company holds B Corp certification with a score of 108.8 — the highest among global courier B Corps — is a UN-certified net zero business, and operates as a London Living Wage employer.

The company's revenue model is primarily transaction-based delivery fees, supplemented by E-Mobility 3PL services (fleet repositioning, battery swap, and micro-hub operations for operators such as Voi and Lime), storage and fulfilment services from its depot network, and logistics decarbonisation consulting. A proprietary emissions calculator, developed with Imperial College London, is offered as a standalone consumer tool and embedded via APIs into corporate CSR reporting workflows, creating a differentiated sustainability data layer. Headcount is reported as 1–10, reflecting the asset-light aggregator model in which delivery capacity is sourced from independent ZEV drivers. Operations span 8+ UK cities (London, Bristol, Manchester, Bath, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Nottingham, Glasgow, Oxford, Sheffield) with announced expansion to 15+ additional cities, and the company reported over 1.2 million cumulative emission-free deliveries as of January 2025.

In May 2023, XeroE was acquired by Delivery Mates, a sustainable logistics provider with a presence in 128 UK towns and cities; founder Steve Evans remained as CEO and the XeroE brand continues to operate. Notable strategic moves since 2021 include the August 2021 £100,000 Bristol City Funds investment for Bristol expansion, the October 2021 B Corp certification, a September 2022 launch of Metapack/Shopify/QuickBooks marketplace integrations, a January 2023 Seedrs crowdfunding raise of over £256,000, and January 2025 launches of the UK's first intermodal emission-free rail-to-cargo-bike trial with Varamis Rail (Birmingham–Glasgow) and a Virtual Logistics Hub trial in Bristol with Whistl, the Department for Transport, and Connected Places Catapult.

Emerging players

• Stuart: UK and European on-demand urban delivery platform aggregating independent couriers via API. Comparable multi-modal last-mile model targeting enterprise and e-commerce clients, though not emission-free specialised.

Direct peers

• Pedal Me: London cargo-bike courier combining passenger transport and parcel delivery using pedal and e-cargo bikes. Directly comparable as a UK capital-city emission-free delivery service targeting enterprise and consumer customers.
• Gnewt by Margo (UPS): Pioneering London cargo bike parcel courier acquired by UPS. Closely comparable multi-modal emission-free delivery model, now operating within a global incumbent's UK footprint.
• Packfleet: UK sustainable same-day and next-day parcel delivery startup focused on e-commerce merchants. Directly comparable as a UK-focused sustainable courier targeting the same ESG-driven shipper segments as XeroE.
• Zedify: UK-based cargo bike delivery specialist operating in London and Cambridge. Closest direct competitor to XeroE on the multi-modal cargo-bike delivery proposition, serving similar B2B and e-commerce customers with emission-free urban logistics.

Broad incumbents

• DPD Group: One of Europe's largest parcel delivery networks with UK operations. Comparable as a national parcel delivery incumbent increasingly competing on sustainability credentials; broad portfolio rather than emission-free specialisation.
• Evri (formerly Hermes UK): Major UK parcel delivery operator serving e-commerce merchants at scale. Comparable on parcel delivery and e-commerce integration, though not emission-free specialisation; potential threat as it adds sustainable delivery options.
• Addison Lee: London-based courier and passenger transport incumbent serving enterprise and consumer customers. Comparable as a high-service urban courier competing for the same enterprise accounts, though with a wider portfolio beyond emission-free.
• Royal Mail: UK universal postal service with nationwide next-day parcel capability. Comparable as the incumbent UK last-mile delivery network increasingly introducing zero-emission vehicles; broad portfolio rather than emission-free specialisation.
• CitySprint: Established UK same-day courier with national infrastructure. Comparable as a same-day and scheduled delivery provider to enterprise clients, though operating a predominantly conventional fleet rather than emission-free.
