Founded in 1969 by three entrepreneurs in San Francisco, DHL has grown to become a company that is more than
capable of holding its own in the shipping industry as one of the market leaders in domestic and global
parcel delivery.
Recognised the world over for its dedication to excellent customer service, DHL has expanded at an incredible
rate, now employing 275,000 staff globally who help to develop customer-orientated solutions for managing
and shipping goods to over 220 countries and territories. So committed is the company to developing its
logistics offerings for the future that it has an entire site, in Germany, specifically dedicated to the
research and advancement of the group's initiatives and technical innovations.
DHL offers a wide variety of package delivery options and strives to always provide the most appropriate and
cost-effective solutions for its customers. With the company's consummate knowledge of express carriage, air
and ocean freight, overland haulage and international parcel delivery, DHL really is in the vanguard of
logistical expertise - ensuring that shipping, no matter where it is going in the world, is an uncomplicated
affair.
As well as being experts in everything logistical, DHL has created a strategy to support its corporate motto
of 'Living Responsibility'. This strategy is split into three corporate programmes - the first concentrates
on optimising energy efficiency, the second on disaster management, with DHL working closely with the United
Nations and UNICEF to organise training programmes in dealing with challenging logistical situations and
emergencies, whilst the third is about improving children's education and skills.
So booking a package delivery with DHL means you will not only get a dependable service but a responsible one
too.
