Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. Please see the reply section below for additional information regarding your request.

I work for Whistl in the marketing team and would like to request that the page is updated with the latest figures and correct information:

Infobox: Add 'Areas served: UK and worldwide' Add the following to Services: 'Postal Service, Parcel delivery, Business Post, Fulfilment' Remove from Services: 'Logistics'

Introduction Change: is a postal delivery company to 'is a postal delivery management company' Insert the following text after Yodel: 'They are market leaders in Downstream Access Mail (DSA) services, handling over 50% of bulk business mail in the UK <ref>https://www.whistl.co.uk/about-us/<ref>. Whistl processes 3 in 10 of all letters sent in the UK <ref>https://www.whistl.co.uk/files/1415/2819/0385/5949_Whistl_Annual_Report_FINAL.pdf<ref> and 3.7 billion items per year in 2016'. Remove: 'It processes about 25% of the mail in the United Kingdom, amounting to over four billion items per year in 2015.'

^ The parameter was changed to 'Worldwide' as the term worldwide would ostensibly already include the UK.

^ These were changed in the infobox under the parameters Industry and Services.

^ Postal and parcel services already includes business mail. Business shipping would fall under logistics. The infobox Services parameter was set to include Addressed mail sorting, Parcel delivery and Business mail services. Please clarify if this is incorrect.

^ This was removed from the infobox.

^ It is unclear what the difference between postal delivery and postal delivery management is. Please clarify.

^ This portion of your request could not be implemented because it makes claims about the market which ought to be substantiated by references from outside of the company.

^ The reference provided is a 60-page document, and the proposal does not specify the exact page number where the information resides.

^ As the proposed sentence under Note #7 was not implemented, the already existing sentence it was meant to replace was not removed.

^ It is unclear which sentence is to be moved, as that is not specified.

^ The claim regarding the acquisition of Parcelhub and Mail Workshop was added. Whistl's reasons for making this acquisition were omitted.

COI Change require - incorrect figure edit

Hi I work for Whistl and require the following change to be made as the figure on the page is incorrect. Please change from 25% to 30% and the correct year should be 2016 not 2015.

According to the company, it processes about 30% of the mail in the United Kingdom, amounting to over 3.7 billion items per year in 2016.

Hi there I work for Whistl and have requested some information to be corrected on the Whistl wikipedia page. Unfortunately some information has been incorrectly removed. Could this please be re-added:

ADD to history: "In July 2015 the company expanded into third-party logistics by acquiring Prism DM and its facilities in Farnborough and Rushden." <ref>https://www.postalandparceltechnologyinternational.com/news/operations/whistl-rebrands-prism-dm-as-whistl-fulfilment.html<ref>
