| DHL eCommerce to join up with UK courier Evri |

MAJOR global parcel logistics provider DHL announced it is taking a significant minority stake in Evri, a large-dedicated parcel delivery company in the United Kingdom and will merge its e-commerce division with the company.
The deal combines Evri's specialty courier capabilities with the scale of DHL eCommerce's UK and international networks and brings Evri into the business letter market for the first time, according to New York's FreightWaves.
The companies touted their ability to provide small and medium enterprises with a one-stop-shop capability for mail, lightweight, large, high-value, B2B, international delivery and fulfilment services.
The integrated operations will deliver more than 1 billion parcels and over 1 billion business letters annually, according to a joint news release.
E-commerce is one of several sectors DHL Group has targeted for investment because of their high-growth potential. Earlier this year, it gained a stake in Ajex Logistics Services, a parcel carrier in Saudi Arabia.
Evri delivered more than 800 million parcels last year and reaches about 85 per cent of households in the UK. On average, it serves more than 12 million customers per week. Top clients include Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Etsy and Vinted.
The delivery company recently inked a deal with UK shopping platform Eflorist to deliver flowers.
The combined DHL-Evri group will retain DHL's UK Mail unit, giving e-commerce businesses more options for sending lighter-weight items. Customers will also benefit from the group's store and locker network for parcel delivery and collection.
Completion of the transaction is contingent on normal regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Evri will continue to be majority-owned by Apollo-managed funds.
