Growth in online sales helps firm deliver

DPD expect 22m parcels this year as online shopping continues to boom

Des Travers: DPD Ireland chief executive

The last 18 months have been both a challenging and exciting time for DPD Ireland. With the volume of online shopping having boomed since the pandemic began, the company has seen volume goals originally planned for five years in the future already being reached.

“We have already achieved numbers and volumes expected for 2025, and so have had to scale up to meet this demand,” DPD chief executive Des Travers explains. “People have definitely moved to an online presence like never before, which has had a dramatic effect in the increased volume we have had to deal with.”
