DPD UK
DPD is the UK’s fastest-growing parcel carrier with a fleet of 10,000 delivery vans and annual turnover of £2 billion.
We have doubled in size since 2016 by establishing ourselves as the carrier of choice for retailers in the B2C delivery sector, delivering 410 million parcels a year across the UK for high profile customers such as EE, HelloFresh, M&S and Asos.
Team DPD now employs 20,000 people.
2022 was another successful year despite a slowdown in the UK economy, rising inflation and the ongoing negative impact of Brexit.
DPD has made sustainability integral to its overall business strategy, winning and retaining business as a result.
It has developed a net-zero roadmap to deliver all-electric in 30 cities throughout the UK by the end of this year and become the first global parcel delivery company to declare it will be net-zero by 2040.
This entry shows how it is innovating at pace to decarbonise its operation by partnering with robotics and last mile delivery specialist, Cartken to deploy autonomous all electric delivery robots in Milton Keynes and Northants, prior to a much wider rollout in 2024.
