Leading parcel delivery firm DHL has announced it has expanded its network of service points in the UK.

The firm's network, called ServicePoint, has now hit 900 counters with partnerships signed with Staples, WH Smith and now self-storage firm Safestore.

Following a deal to open 400 counters in WH Smiths stores across the UK, DHL's new agreement with Safestore further expands its network, which it adds will continue to grow until it reaches "optimum level".

It also claims other parties are interested in signing up to the ServicePoint network.

Shannon Diett, marketing manager for DHL Express UK, told Motor Transport: "We launched the ServicePoint network two years ago in branches of Staples, the stationers. We now have 135 service points with Staples."

DHL was recently ranked at number 22 in the 2009 Business Superbrands UK top 500 brands list.

The rankings are compiled following a survey of the perception of a brand among customers and employees.
