DPD is wholly owned by La Poste which is 73% owned by the French government.

- SideburnsOfDoom 9y ago> which is 73% owned by the French government. As has been remarked, the long-term effect of privatisation in the UK has been that much of the economy is still government-owned. It's just not the UK government that owns it any more.
- lozenge 9y agoDPD has always been a private company.
- SideburnsOfDoom 9y agoThere are other companies in the Delivery space, for instance The Royal Mail, also a privately owned company now.
- lordfoom 9y agoA private company owned by the French Government, no?
- isolli 9y agoTrue. RATP (the French, state-owned public transport operator) runs many bus lines in London. And EDF (the French, state-owned utility) owns EDF Energy in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_United_Busways https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_United_Busways https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDF_Energy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDF_Energy
