The UK Competition and Markets Authority has granted unconditional approval for the merger of Evri and DHL eCommerce UK. The transaction is expected to be completed promptly following all remaining regulatory approvals.
The combined entity, Evri Group, will become the UK’s largest parcel and mail delivery business. It will handle over 1 billion parcels and 1 billion letters annually, supported by a workforce of around 42,000 staff and couriers and a fleet of 8,000 vehicles. DHL eCommerce UK will rebrand as Evri Premium in 2026, maintaining a separate network for fast, secure deliveries of high-value and large items.
The merger brings together Evri’s domestic courier network and DHL eCommerce’s UK and international logistics capabilities, including an out-of-home network exceeding 150,000 global access points. The combined operations will extend Evri’s reach into UK mail services and strengthen its cross-border shipping capacity.
The new Evri Group will provide cost-effective solutions for businesses and consumers, offering flexible delivery options across domestic and international parcels, premium secure deliveries, and business mail services. The deal is expected to accelerate growth and consolidate Evri’s position in the UK logistics sector.
