InPost Group has pledged to invest £600m in the UK by the end of 2029, bringing its total investment in the UK market to £1bn, with plans to expand its parcel locker network, develop logistics centres and create up to 12,000 new jobs.

The Polish-owned courier, parcel delivery and express mail service company, which has its headquarters in Krakow, has one of the largest parcel locker network across the UK, with around 6,400 automated parcels machines (APMs) and approximately 1,450 pick up and drop off points (PUDOS).

InPost’s investment pledge comes as Rafał Brzoska, InPost founder and chief executive, prepares to meet Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in Warsaw today (17 January) at a reception for Polish businesses investing in the UK.

InPost is planning to grow its automated parcel machine (APM) locker network by over 50% in 2025 as demand grows.

The group, which currently employs 2,519 people in the UK, said it will also create up to 12,000 new jobs as part of its growth plan and open new logistics facilities and “cutting-edge” delivery solutions which it said will revolutionise e-commerce for consumers and sellers.

Last year, InPost significantly strengthened its position in the British market by purchasing the remaining 70% stake in Menzies Distribution Limited, allowing it to fully control its logistics process and investment plan in the country.

The group is also planning to expand its international parcel services into the UK. 

In Europe, by the end of last year, InPost Group had more than 82,000 out-of-home delivery points, including almost 47,000 automated parcel machine (APM) parcel locker sites and 35,000 PUDO points in nine countries - Belgium, France, Italy. 

Rafał Brzoska, InPost founder and chief executive, said: “Our investments will revolutionise e-commerce for both buyers and sellers in the UK.

“This is already our fastest growing market, and in response to ever-increasing consumer expectations we are creating cutting-edge, efficient and user-friendly delivery solutions, expanding our network and continuously improving service quality.

“We will grow the number of automated parcel machine (APM) locker sites by more than half in 2025 alone.”
