Hermes formed in 2000 when two existing home shopping businesses, Grattan and Freemans, were integrated.  At that point the two respective distribution networks, Speedlink and Direct line came together to form Hermes.

Hermes is one of the UK’s premier courier home delivery specialists. It handles 110 million home deliveries annually for a number of well known high street brands including, Next Directory, Cotton Traders, Lakeland Limited and Boden.

Their home delivery specialisation centres on a network of over 7,500 local couriers who use their own local knowledge and vehicles to deliver.
