I seem to remember volvo taking over BRS i think it was part of exel logistics.

The post office or was it parcel force was taken over by deutsche post.

Deutsche Post World Net, is the world's largest logistics group. With its headquarters in Bonn, the corporation has 520,000 employees in more than 220 countries and territories worldwide and generated revenue of € 63.5 billion ($ 97.8 billion) in 2007. Deutsche Post is the successor to the former German state-owned mail monopoly, but has significantly expanded its business area through acquisitions since its privatisation in 1995.

DHL Express (originally standing for Dalsey, Hillblom and Lynn), is a division of Deutsche Post World Net providing international express mail.

A salvesen driver from scotland recently told me that Norbert Dentresangle were in negotiations to aquire Salvesens.
