InPost has announced that it will invest almost £600m (US$723m) to expand its UK parcel locker network and logistics facilities over the next four years.
The investment will be made between 2025 and 2029 and will create up to 12,000 jobs. It will bring InPost’s total investment in the UK market to £1bn (US$1.2bn).
“Our investments will revolutionize e-commerce for both buyers and sellers in the UK,” said Rafał Brzoska, founder and CEO of InPost. “This is already our fastest-growing market, and in response to ever-increasing consumer expectations we are creating cutting-edge, efficient and user-friendly delivery solutions, expanding our network and continuously improving service quality. We will grow the number of automated parcel machine (APM) locker sites by more than half in 2025 alone.”
Last year, InPost significantly strengthened its position in the UK market by purchasing the remaining 70% stake in Menzies Distribution Limited, allowing it to fully control its logistics process and investment plan in the country. InPost currently employs 2,519 people in the UK and intends to dynamically increase the number of employees.
In 2024, InPost delivered 93.2 million parcels in the UK, double its 2023 volume. InPost’s UK network is operating at over 100% capacity on average, indicating significant room for growth of its APM locker network.
By the end of 2024, the InPost Group had over 13,000 OOH points, and the APM network had expanded by almost 3,000 units to over 9,200. This year, the company will add up to 5,000 APM units.
