Rivals admit Royal Mail will be dominant UK postal player

Competitors to Royal Mail have said that the postal giant is set to be the dominant player in UK postal services for years to come. The admission came at a debate featuring the chief executives of Business Post Group, TNT Mail UK and DHL Global Mail at last month’s Mail Show Conference, and just under two months ahead of full deregulation of the UK postal services market. Sarah Chambers, chairman of postal regulator Postcomm, said that despite limited deregulation so far, Royal Mail still retained 97.2 per cent of the market.

The company said that it was handling nearly 1m items of post every week.
