Deutsche Post — a subsidiary of the Germany based DHL Group — has been able to extend its reach into the UK through a partnership with Royal Mail. Signing an access agreement with Deutsche Post, Royal Mail has provided the German company with access to their local sorting and delivery network. In 2016, Deutsche Post completed the acquisition of UK Mail, one of the UK’s leading Parcels, Mail, and Logistics services companies. As a result, Deutsche Post now offers one of the largest integrated Parcels and Mail operations in the UK.
