InPost launches 'Send' in bid to accelerate expansion of the UK postal market

InPost Group, a leading provider of logistics solutions for the European e-commerce industry, announces the launch of Send, a ground-breaking delivery service that allows anyone to send a label-less parcel directly from the InPost app. This new end-to-end delivery solution leverages InPost’s market-leading footprint in the UK and is destined to transform the UK postal and delivery market.

Launching today (24) February, Send will enable consumers to post parcels from one InPost Locker to another, an out-of-home (OOH) point such as a PickUp and Drop Off (PUDO) location, or directly to their chosen home address. Accessible through the InPost app, this service offers a convenient and seamless way to send parcels without needing a label, giving both customers and receivers complete visibility and assurance through real-time tracking. In addition, pricing is simple and transparent - parcels up to 15kg can be sent based on size: small, medium, and large.


The launch of Send marks a key milestone in InPost’s strategic growth journey in the UK, its fastest-growing market, and is a game-changing alternative to traditional postal services. As the postal market faces increasing demands for modernisation and efficiency, InPost’s model offers a more convenient, flexible, and clearer approach to parcel delivery.

This launch follows InPost’s commitment to invest £600m in its UK operations by 2029, following its exponential growth in the UK where it delivered 93.2 million parcels in 2024, double the volume from 2023. As part of its strategic growth, InPost has firmly positioned itself as a full-service logistics provider in the UK, expanding beyond locker solutions to out-of-home (OOH) and direct-to-door options.

The strategic acquisition of Menzies Distribution in October 2024 gave InPost full control over its entire logistics process – covering first mile, middle mile, and last mile - seamlessly connecting to its network of OOH points across the UK. This move built on InPost’s investment in 2023 to leverage Menzies’ logistics expertise. In addition, the partnership with Yodel in October 2024 - for to-door deliveries from lockers, where Yodel handles parcels through the InPost ‘locker-to-door ’ service - enhances InPost’s offering to e-commerce retailers and further reinforces InPost’s leadership in the parcel delivery market.

The introduction of Send to the UK market represents another significant landmark in InPost’s mission to provide innovative market-leading parcel solutions and expand its operations in the UK.

Send comes at a critical time in the industry as traditional postal services face repeated criticism for poor service and delivery performance, leading to rising demands for modernisation and efficiency. InPost’s new innovative service provides a timely and forward-thinking alternative that offers customers a modern, reliable, and efficient solution to meet the evolving demands of customers.

“Send marks a pivotal moment for both InPost and the wider UK postal market, bringing the parcel experience up to date with consumers’ lifestyles," said Neil Kuschel, CEO of InPost UK. "We are proud to introduce this new service that directly meets those needs and drives increased competition in the industry. This new service, paired with our easy to use app, complements our leading UK service and continued investment, demonstrating InPost's commitment to continually modernising parcel delivery and driving innovation in the industry."

Kellanova Pioneers Hydrogen in UK Food Manufacturing

Government-Funded HyNet Industrial Fuel Switching Programme

Kellogg’s factory powers breakfast with pioneering hydrogen-fuelled manufacturing demo

A first-of-its-kind, Government-funded hydrogen demonstration has been completed at a Kellogg’s factory in the UK, making it the first food manufacturer in the country to produce cereal using this method.

The three-week demonstration, part of the HyNet Industrial Fuel Switching programme, replaced fossil fuel gas with hydrogen to power the toasting oven at the factory. The hydrogen fuelled process successfully produced Corn Flakes, Bran Flakes, Special K and Rice Krispies.

This comes after Kellanova UK was selected to receive £3 million funding by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero in 2023.

The HyNet Industrial Fuel Switching Two programme is funded through the UK Government’s £55m Industrial Fuel Switching Competition, as part of the £1bn Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).

The demonstration showcased the role that hydrogen can play to support industry decarbonisation, and forms an important part of the manufacturer’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as part of its Better Days promise.

As of the end of 2024, Kellanova has achieved a reduction of 54 per cent in Europe for its scope one and two greenhouse gas emissions, putting it well on track towards its commitment of a 63 per cent reduction in scope one and two emissions across its European operations by the end of 2030.

As well as showcasing the potential of hydrogen in food manufacturing, the demonstration also provided key learning and upskilling opportunities to employees.

“The production of our cereal using hydrogen is an exciting first for us," said Sam Bistiaux, Vice President of Manufacturing at Kellogg manufacturer Kellanova. "It’s a significant moment for our people, our operations, and the industry as a whole as it demonstrates the potential of investing in low carbon fuels to drive decarbonisation. We are excited to be at the pioneering edge of this process, with the technology still in its infancy, and the long-term potential truly transformative.

“As we look to continue reducing our carbon footprint, we hope that sharing examples of best practice and learnings from the demonstration can equip other businesses with the confidence and know-how to do the same, so that we can take urgent and collective action towards a greener future.”

David Parkin, Chair of the HyNet Alliance, added: “It’s been fantastic to see the results of this demonstration, as part of HyNet’s Industrial Fuel Switching 2 programme, and to see the positive impact investment in hydrogen could have for industry, society, and the planet. ”
