Business Delivery Solutions to Europe
Europe is home to the largest economy in the world, comprising of 51 independent states across an eclectic geographical and demographical region. Many businesses, both based in and outside of the continent, rely on importing and exporting within Europe to ensure strong business growth and to discover new opportunities.
According to the United Nations in 2015 around 1.2 million Brits were living in other European countries, while nearly 3.3 million Europeans were living in the UK. Along with business parcel delivery, this creates a high demand for regular postage across the continent for individuals. From the cold north of Iceland to the cross-continental climate down south in Turkey, postage across Europe can be arranged with Whistl.
