Founded by Paul and Phil in 2003, both former Kensington postmen with nearly two decades of experience, W8 was named after the local postcode that shaped their early careers. Their deep understanding of London’s streets — and the value of dependable service — became the foundation of our company.
Brian joined soon after, following his retirement from the same post office, contributing his expertise and work ethic until 2018. At 74, Brian finally retired fully, having helped shape W8’s trusted reputation.
In 2004, Simon joined from the Next press office, bringing valuable industry knowledge that helped strengthen our relationships with fashion and retail clients — and he’s still with us today. When Carlos joined from the Daily Express in 2018, he added logistics expertise honed under daily deadlines, ensuring every delivery meets the urgency our clients demand.
Today, our small team continues to uphold the same principles we started with — precision, punctuality, and professionalism — every single day. From urgent fashion samples to sensitive press materials, we treat each item with the same care as our very first delivery.
