Our vision is to provide parcel deliveries that don’t cost the earth
We’ve enhanced our alternative fuels fleet with bio-CNG, HVO, electric-powered vehicles and e-cargo bikes, we have also built a number of energy saving features into our network of hubs and depots. We’re also helping customers and clients become more sustainable with our innovative products.
Evri is the UK’s biggest dedicated parcel delivery company, leading the way in creating responsible delivery experiences for everyone, everywhere. We’re doing that by offering the most convenient way to send, receive and return parcels without costing the earth.
From our roots as a mail order company nearly 50 years ago, we’ve grown considerably over the decades – and we’ve had a few name changes along the way. Now, with our friendly team of 25,000+ couriers, an estate of 14,000+ local one-stop ParcelShops and Lockers, and a growing network of state-of-the-art hubs and depots, Evri provides delivery solutions for anyone who wants to send a parcel.
Whether it’s someone sending a birthday present to a friend, a marketplace trader shipping in bulk or a major brand such as John Lewis, ASOS or Next, we work closely with diverse communities and the majority of the UK’s top retailers to safely get parcels from A to everywhere.
A lot of parcels, in fact. More than 730 million a year.
And it’s not just customers and retailers who trust us. We’ve won loads of industry awards over the years celebrating our achievements in IT, innovation and our green fleet.
Evri is more than just a name. It’s a statement of intent, reflecting our commitment to customers and clients.
Every parcel, every person, every place – every delivery made for you.
