_{Peter Fuller, CEO of DHL Parcel UK}

"The Covid pandemic has not only driven digitalization, but also significantly changed consumer behavior, rapidly accelerating the growth of e-commerce and shifting shopping habits. At DHL Group we believe this shift to online shopping will remain intact and, as e-commerce is one of the important pillars in our Group Strategy 2025, we'll continue to invest in the sector.

This investment in the UK is a key part of that, supporting the expansion and modernization of our European network. I'm really looking forward to supporting the business on its growth path in my new role as CEO DHL eCommerce Solutions starting August 1."
