Polish logistics company InPost has significantly expanded its presence in the United Kingdom by acquiring a 95.5% stake in British parcel delivery company Yodel. This strategic move positions InPost as the third-largest independent parcel operator in the UK, following Royal Mail and Evri.​

Strategic Acquisition Details

The acquisition was executed through a debt-to-equity conversion, wherein InPost transformed a £106 million loan to Yodel’s parent company, Judge Logistics Ltd, into equity. PayPoint, a UK-based payment services provider, retains the remaining 4.5% stake.​

This deal builds upon a partnership initiated in October 2024, where Yodel began providing last-mile delivery services for InPost’s “locker-to-door” service. The integration aims to combine InPost’s extensive network of automated parcel machines (APMs) with Yodel’s home delivery capabilities, offering a comprehensive delivery solution for e-commerce retailers.​

Expansion and Market Impact

With this acquisition, InPost’s UK market share increases from 2% to approximately 8%. The combined operations are expected to handle over 300 million parcels annually, serving more than 700 online retailers. InPost now operates 10,000 APMs and over 18,000 out-of-home pick-up points across the UK.​

Rafał Brzoska, InPost’s founder and CEO, stated, “This acquisition marks a pivotal milestone in InPost’s journey to revolutionize the UK delivery market as well as the group’s pan-European presence.”​

Financial and Strategic Outlook

The total value of the transaction, including debt refinancing, amounts to £136 million. InPost anticipates that the acquisition will positively impact its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) within a year. Furthermore, InPost has announced plans to invest an additional £600 million in the UK by 2029 to further expand its operations.​

This acquisition follows InPost’s purchase of Menzies Distribution in October 2024, granting the company full control over its UK logistics operations.​

Industry Implications

The consolidation of InPost and Yodel’s services is expected to enhance delivery efficiency and customer experience in the UK e-commerce sector. By integrating out-of-home delivery options with traditional home delivery, InPost aims to offer flexible and sustainable solutions to meet the evolving demands of online shoppers.​

As the UK parcel delivery market continues to grow, InPost’s strategic investments and acquisitions position the company to play a significant role in shaping the future of logistics and e-commerce in the region.
