UK delivery firm Evri announces record results and parcel volumes as eBay and Vinted deals pay off

Evri says that it delivered record adjusted EBITDA and parcel volumes for the year to 1st March 2025, driven by a £57 million operational investment to improve service, broad-based growth across its divisions and new client wins.

It lays claim to parcel volumes of more than 807 million over the 52 weeks, up from c. 730 million in 2023-24. This represents a 25% increase in parcel numbers in the last two years.

Growth in 2024-25 was supported by deals with consumer-to-consumer marketplaces, such as eBay and Vinted, as the trend in selling second-hand items online shows no sign of slowing down. New client wins saw the business diversify into new sectors including fresh food, car parts and floristry.

Its adjusted EBITDA1 increased by almost a fifth to £341 million during the period when it was acquired by Apollo Funds in August 2024.

In May 2025, Evri announced a proposed merger with DHL eCommerce UK. It then acquired Irish business, and EU logistics specialist, Coll-8, later that month – to expand its retail-to-consumer service portfolio. In June, it also announced an investment of £50 million in lockers as part of plans to expand its network of ParcelShops and lockers. And it stumped up £57 million in 2024-25 to enhance its operations and technology. 

Martijn de Lange, CEO at Evri, says: “In what was a landmark 50th year for our business, we delivered record adjusted EBITDA and retail-to-consumer parcel volumes – driven by our best ever peak, and growth across our divisions and new client wins. Apollo’s acquisition of Evri last year was testament to our success to date and, thanks to the dedication of our colleagues and couriers, we are well positioned for next-generation delivery services.” 

“Our unwavering commitment to improving the customer journey has kept pace with record growth with us almost doubling our multi-million pound investments into our operations and service in the last financial year.”

“It was a year that saw us expand our client base into new sectors, including fresh food, car parts and floristry, and grow our presence in existing ones. We continue to meet increased demand for customer-to-customer deliveries for online marketplaces, as buyer and seller behaviour changes - fuelled by scroll and spend social commerce sites such as TikTok’s shop. Our tech enabled convenience is equipping a growing army of bedroom CEOs who are shaping the future of e-commerce.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Online delivery will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
