Asyad Express, the freight and package delivery arm of Oman-based Asyad Group, has entered into a strategic partnership with Evri, the UK’s largest eCommerce delivery company.
The agreement aims to explore a strategic collaboration to establish a regional courier express parcel (CEP) network serving Oman and selected Middle East countries from the UK, Europe and US markets, through Evri/Asyad Express and partner networks.

“This important partnership is in line with our extensive efforts to position Oman as a global logistics hub by tapping into a pool of more than 2 billion potential eCommerce customers and providing global access to the GCC through our extensive sea, road and air networks. This agreement provides local and regional traders access to key European and American markets through Evri’s expansive network. It also connects Evri’s clients with the Asian and Middle East markets through leveraging Asyad’s world-class logistics services and its network, covering more than 220 destinations globally.”
Mr. John Sansby, Director of international network and partnership development at Evri, stated that “We are excited to start this collaboration and believe that using the Evri Global eCommerce network, will support the capability build of both networks in the UK, Middle East, the US and Asian markets. This partnership will give Oman and GCC regional cross-border sellers, a ‘best in class’ global eCommerce delivery product. Our agreement with Asyad Express demonstrates our commitment to increasing Evri’s network and service capability growth in the Middle East region.”
The latest move comes as part of Asyad Group’s continuous efforts to expand its eCommerce capabilities in the key markets of the UK, China and the US, and attract more international brands to take advantage of Oman as a potential eCommerce hub for expanding their service offering throughout the region.
