The company employs 11,000 people in the UK and delivers over 250 million parcels worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The business grew steadily for nearly its entire 50-year history, though profit trends have recently skyrocketed due to an increased reliance on online shopping. Fortunately, you can get in on the action as an owner-driver franchisee with DPD.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s explore the history of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/industries\/courier-delivery-franchises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">industry-leading parcel delivery company<\/a> and discover six key advantages you might find as an owner-driver franchisee of DPD.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a-brief-history-of-dpd\"><\/span>A Brief History Of DPD<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>DPD\u2019s history dates back over 50 years to 1970. The company began as a parcel and delivery company called Courier Express. In 1984, the firm rebranded to Parceline and expanded its reach over Great Britain.<\/p>\n<p>In 2000, LaPoste, the second largest postal firm in the EU, purchased Parceline and established the new company as DPD.<\/p>\n<p>Within the UK, DPD offers next-day shipping along with Saturday and Sunday delivery. They also provide customers with a return and delivery function and integrated distribution and warehousing facilities.<\/p>\n<p>On the international scale, DPD delivers parcels to 230 countries, nearly every country in the United Nations. The firm also established a cutting-edge home delivery service tailored to online retailers.<\/p>\n<p>DPD\u2019s growth skyrocketed throughout the 2000s and 2010s, and the company earned the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/queens-awards-for-enterprise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Queen\u2019s Award<\/a> in 2015, recognising its enterprise in innovation for the sector-shattering Predict Service.<\/p>\n<p>The plaudits don\u2019t stop there. The company also earned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneysavingexpert.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MoneySavingExpert\u2019s<\/a> top consumer satisfaction rating for seven years straight in the parcel delivery services category.<\/p>\n<p>Today, DPD seeks ambitious entrepreneurs to join their ever-growing team in the United Kingdom as contracted owner-driver franchisees.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-perks-of-becoming-a-dpd-franchisee\"><\/span>6 Perks Of Becoming A DPD Franchisee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" td-center aligncenter wp-image-16167 size-large\" title=\"6 perks of becoming a DPD franchisee | Franchise Local UK\" src=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-1024x715.png\" alt=\"6 perks of becoming a DPD franchisee | Franchise Local UK\" width=\"696\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-1024x715.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-768x536.png 768w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-1536x1072.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-150x105.png 150w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-600x419.png 600w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-696x486.png 696w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-1392x971.png 1392w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-1068x745.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-1920x1340.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-602x420.png 602w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-1204x840.png 1204w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-100x70.png 100w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-200x140.png 200w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4.png 1999w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-flexible-working-hours\"><\/span>1. Flexible Working Hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>DPD offers two unique franchise options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Owner-Driver franchise<\/li>\n<li>Owner-Driver franchise lite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Owner-driver franchisees work full-time, providing a parcel delivery and collection service five days a week. Even within that schedule, owner-drivers can select the days they work, take on more hours if comfortable, and keep standards high.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the owner-driver franchise lite model offers franchisees a more flexible working schedule with different expected volumes.<\/p>\n<p>DPD franchisees have found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/advantages-disadvantages-of-franchising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tremendous job satisfaction and work-life balance<\/a>. Not only does the job keep them active and fit, but it also challenges their mind to come up with new ideas to grow their franchise even more than they thought possible.<\/p>\n<p>DPD allows franchisees to choose their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/starting-a-van-based-franchise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delivery vehicle<\/a> and take on additional routes and services after three months on the job.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to maximise your work-life balance, DPD is there to support you. If you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/the-most-profitable-uk-franchises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">send your profits into the stratosphere<\/a>, DPD will help you every step of the way.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-high-earning-potential\"><\/span>2. High Earning Potential<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After three years in the business, DPD franchisees can turn over \u00a3140,000 and \u00a3170,000 annually. Of course, these numbers aren\u2019t a guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to provide top-class service consistently throughout your tenure with DPD. If you prove to be a star owner-driver, you can take on additional hours and extra routes as you grow with the company to bolster your balance sheet and maximise revenues.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, high DPD owner-driver franchise earnings mean nothing if combined with sky-high startup costs. Fortunately, the DPD franchise cost is low, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/what-is-a-franchise-agreement-and-how-to-properly-analyse-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five-year franchise agreement<\/a> that guarantees a reliable source of income.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, you\u2019ll receive the benefits of star employee job security while still being your own boss.<\/p>\n<p>DPD also employs a lucrative bonus structure. For every 100,000 stops they complete, franchisees earn a substantial financial bonus. In layman\u2019s terms \u2014 the harder you work, the more your rewards multiply.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16165\" title=\"dpd franchies owner-driver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"dpd franchies owner-driver\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-1392x929.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-1920x1281.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-1259x840.jpg 1259w, https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2.jpg 1999w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-limitless-growth-potential\"><\/span>3.

They want to grow substantially yearly, and they need ambitious franchisees to achieve that aim.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, they\u2019re in the right market. The e-commerce market was already worth over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jasongoldberg\/2022\/02\/18\/e-commerce-sales-grew-50-to-870-billion-during-the-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a3700 billion in 2020<\/a>.

The facility sorts up to 72,000 parcels per hour, the largest establishment in Europe of its kind.<\/p>\n<p>DPD\u2019s award-winning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpd.com\/nl\/en\/business\/predict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Predict<\/a> service offers customers a one-hour delivery window to better plan their days around their package arrival. In addition, the Follow My Parcel service gives customers a real-time map to track their delivery and find their final 15-minute delivery time slot.<\/p>\n<p>Easier deliveries mean happier customers, increased profit margins, and a much more enjoyable time on the job.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-a-commitment-to-sustainability\"><\/span>6.
