Evri Group has unveiled a £36 million investment plan to strengthen its parcel network in preparation for the upcoming Black Friday surge.
The move comes as the company finalises its merger with DHL eCommerce UK, which is expected to close soon after regulators cleared the deal at the start of the month.
The German multinational company DHL Group will take a minority stake in private equity-backed Evri, with the merged business set to deliver 1 billion parcels and 1bn business letters annually.
To handle the seasonal rush, the Leeds-based firm anticipates employing over 30,000 couriers this Christmas, alongside 70 additional operational roles to help manage demand.
