Polish delivery giant InPost will invest £600 million (3 billion zloty) in its rapidly expanding network of parcel delivery lockers and other logistics infrastructure in the UK, the company’s CEO, Rafał Brzoska, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer have announced.

Ahead of Starmer’s arrival in Warsaw today for talks with his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk, Downing Street announced that “to coincide with the visit, Polish company InPost has announced that it is investing a further £600 million by 2029 to grow their operations in the UK”.

This, noted Starmer’s office, brings the firm’s “total investment into the UK to £1 billion – supporting up to 12,000 new jobs”. The firm currently employs around 2,500 people in the UK, reports the Polish Press Agency (PAP).

In a separate statement, Brzoska declared that InPost wants to “revolutionise e-commerce for both buyers and sellers in the UK”. The firm has in particular been a pioneer of automated parcel delivery lockers, which allow customers to easily collect and drop off packages.

As well as Poland and the UK, InPost also operates in Spain, France and Portugal. But the UK “is our fastest growing market”, noted Brzoska. “And in response to the ever-increasing expectations of consumers, we are creating state-of-the-art and user-friendly delivery solutions.”

Last year, InPost consolidated its position in the UK by completing the acquisition of two businesses belonging to British logistics firm Menzies Distribution Limited for over £60 million. The Polish firm had previously had a 30% stake in its British partner.

In 2024, InPost delivered 93.2 million parcels in the UK, double the figure achieved in the previous year, reports the firm. In Poland, the company delivered 709.3 million parcels last year, 20% more than in 2023.
