International Distribution Services is a global logistics organisation, with Royal Mail, Parcelforce and GLS within its portfolio of services. Our businesses provide postal and delivery services throughout their extensive networks. Royal Mail delivers letters and parcels to around 32 million addresses across the UK. GLS is one of the largest parcel service providers in Europe, with a growing presence in North America. With this global logistics portfolio, we aspire to drive forward thinking throughout the delivery industry, and with the strategic ambition at the heart of our business, we are constantly evolving to meet the latest market needs. We have two clear priorities: Drive IDS’s group companies to realise their full potential by providing strategic oversight and supporting both businesses to deliver their expected performance. Deliver new growth by strategically investing in our companies, utilizing their strengths more effectively to benefit our customers, and by finding new opportunities for expansion. This means IDS will be offering more services, on a more global scale, than ever before. These two goals put us at the forefront of delivering the future of logistics.
