Evri said buoyant online trading and investment in its infrastructure and technology led to record half-year results, with a 12% increase in parcel volumes and revenues up to £973m.

Parcel volumes rose by 47m to 425m with adjusted EBITDA increasing by 22% to £209m for the 26 weeks ending 30 August 2025.

It said the 12% boost in turnover was helped by marketplace and pre-loved sites, with customers continuing to make money from their own clothes and unwanted items and consumers hunting for second-hand bargains – nicknamed wardrobe to wallet trading.

Evri added that operational performance and on-time delivery rates were strong, with 5,000 couriers recruited over the summer and volumes exceeding 18m many weeks.

The results came after Evri completed its merger with DHL eCommerce UK in October, strengthening its capacity and service offering.

Next year, DHL eCommerce UK will be rebranded to Evri Premium – a Network of DHL, and it will remain a separate network.

Martijn De Lange, CEO of Evri, said: “We’re delivering more parcels than ever, expanding our client base, and improving profitability – all while continuing to invest in the future of delivery.

“The merger with DHL eCommerce UK marks a major milestone, enabling us to offer even greater reach.”
