Brief Profile Expand

Royal Mail is the national postal service of the UK. Unlike other former state monopolies such as The Stationery Office, British Gas and British Telecom, Royal Mail was not privatised in the 1980s and 1990s, but remains a public limited company wholly owned by the UK government.

In 2002, the organisation became "Royal Mail Group plc" with the following operating divisions:

  • Royal Mail- processing and delivering letters and packages in the UK.
  • Parcelforce Worldwide- collection and delivery services for express packages and parcels within the UK and throughout the World. 
  • Post Office Limited- managing the nationwide network of post office branches as retail outlets.
  • General Logistics Systems B.V. (GLS) - the holding company for a pan-European group of companies providing parcel services, logistics and express services throughout Europe.

In January 2006, the UK mails market was fully liberalised, resulting in full competition for the first time.

In 2009 its revenues were £9,156m.
