UK MAIL ABOUT US

UK Mail originated as a taxi firm in Harrow in 1971. In just a few years, the company evolved into a national business offering same day courier and overnight parcel delivery. By 1986, the then much larger company became Business Post, and was then listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1993. UK Mail was granted one seven-year licence by Postcomm in June 2003 and co-wrote the agreement to provide postal services for business customers.

UK Mail began trading in May 2004, with Powergen as its first customer and delivered its one billionth item of mail in October 2006. In July 2009, its parent company, Business Post Group, became UK Mail Group. In September 2016, UK Mail announced that it would be acquired by Deutsche Post (DHL Group).

In October 2025 DHL Ecommerce merged with Evri, having received an unconditional CMA approval in September 2025. Together it created a premier UK delivery giant, handling over 1 billion parcels and 1 billion letters annually. The combined group will leverage Evri’s courier network and DHL’s premium, secure van network. By 2026, DHL eCommerce UK will be rebranded as "Evri Premium – a network of DHL," combining their logistics expertise. UK Mail's trusted brand will continue, because our customers recognise our brand is trusted by some of the UK's biggest brands.
