UK Mail, a trading name of DHL Parcel UK Limited (formerly Business Post), is a postal service company operating in the United Kingdom,[1] which has competed with Royal Mail in collection and distribution of mail, since the deregulation of the postal service in January 2006.[2] Its distribution network delivers mail to local Royal Mail sorting offices for last mile delivery through downstream access.
UK Mail competes primarily with Royal Mail and Whistl.[3] Since December 2016, the company has been owned by Deutsche Post DHL Group.[4] The company name was changed from UK Mail Limited to DHL Parcel UK Limited in July 2018, and its parcel service rebranded, although the name UK Mail will continue to be used for mail and packet services.[5]
