by | Jul 31, 2025 | News

We’re delighted to share that UKP Worldwide has been announced as a finalist in the Innovative Business of the Year category at the prestigious Buckinghamshire Business Awards 2025.

This recognition reflects our commitment to transforming eCommerce logistics through technology, compliance, and customer-first thinking. At the heart of our innovation is Savvy, our in-house digital platform powering customs clearance, returns, and duty reclaim automation and Unwind, our joint venture with MS-Direct that reimagines cross-border returns for retailers.

From developing proprietary systems to consolidating operations in our new purpose-built facility in Buckinghamshire, our innovation strategy is built to deliver smarter, scalable, and sustainable customs solutions. Savvy has enabled clients to automate thousands of declarations, reclaim significant sums in import duties, and gain full visibility of their cross-border operations, making us a true digital customs partner.

Finalists will come together at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on 15th October 2025 for a celebration of Buckinghamshire’s most forward-thinking businesses.

We extend our thanks to Buckinghamshire Business First, the category sponsor, and all those supporting the awards. To be recognised among such an impressive field of innovators is an achievement in itself and one we’re incredibly proud of.

Stay tuned as we count down to the ceremony!

The designated operator of Switzerland, Swiss Post, asks us to inform other countries and their designated operators that they are about to switch the transmission of EMSEVT events from its bespoken IT system to UPU IPS starting from 4. August 2025. The procedure is defined in such a way that one event after the other is switched over, starting with the events that are less relevant for delivery time measurements and ending with the “Start the Clock” and “Stop the Clock” events. During the transition phase, it will be unavoidable for certain events to be sent twice, firstly by the Swiss Post bespoken IT system and secondly by UPU IPS.
