Green light for DHL-Evri merger

[ September 5, 2025   //   ]

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has unconditionally approved the merger of Evri, one of the UK’s largest dedicated parcel delivery companies with DHL eCommerce UK.

In 2026, DHL eCommerce UK will be rebranded as Evri Premium – a network of DHL, and it will remain a separate network that offers fast, time-sensitive deliveries with enhanced security for high-value and large items. The combined Group will bring together a team of over 30,000 couriers and van drivers, along with 12,000 colleagues, and a fleet of 8,000 vehicles, delivering over a billion parcels and a billion letters annually, with the addition of UK Mail. It will leverage DHL eCommerce’s expertise in cross-border parcel shipping and out-of-home network of over 150, 000 global access points.

Evri chief executive Martijn De Lange, said: “Through access to DHL’s well-recognised global network, the new Evri Group will offer an enhanced international capability, and we will enter the UK mail space for the first-time ever to operate business mail services. This deal will accelerate our growth strategy and cements our position as a disruptor within the parcel delivery sector.”

DHL eCommerce chief executive Pablo Ciano, added: “CMA clearance marks a significant step forward in our commitment to providing the best service and innovative solutions in the UK parcel delivery market. Together, we want to reshape the landscape of logistics, offering our customers a seamless and secure experience and meeting their evolving needs in a fast-paced world.”
