Daily Post

> Switzerland is leading the way in the Global Innovation Index 2025

AROUND 8,000 Collect+ convenience stores will be rebranded to a Royal Mail Shop after the delivery giant's owner bought a stake in the parcel service firm.

International Distribution Services (IDS) announced it had acquired a 49% stake in Collect+ with a £43.9m investment.

The new high street shops will sell Royal Mail postage over the counter for the first time, meaning customers can pay in person rather than online beforehand.
