Nessy’s new export vision for Weybridge Mail Boxes Etc.
Nessy’s new export vision for Weybridge Mail Boxes Etc.

Nessy Vallis acquired the Mail Boxes Etc. business, which has been a fixture on Church Street for around twenty years, in September 2024, following a successful fourteen-year career in international sales, specialising in the print industry.
Her ambition in growing the service centre as part of the local community is to develop relationships with key customers from the surrounding areas to help them trade nationally and internationally, while also aiming to grow the walk-in design and print offering for local businesses too.
Outlining her growth plans, she said: “Mail Boxes Etc. is the world’s leading third-party provider of shipping, fulfilment, print and marketing solutions to small and medium enterprises and consumers across the globe, with a network of over one thousand eight hundred franchise locations in forty-eight countries.
“As a brand, it’s currently bucking the trend on UK high streets and is one of the few chain store outlets opening more stores, which I believe is because its service range meets so many growing needs.
“For instance, the emergence of so many ecommerce and working-from-home businesses in Weybridge and the surrounding areas means there are a huge number of people who want a professional solution for shipping worldwide, or a postal mailbox separate to their operational or residential address.
“For shipping, we take away the burden of choosing the right shipping partner for each package and help with documentation to ensure packages arrive with less likelihood of delays, and our packing solutions are extremely attractive to people exporting and importing fragile items.
“We also specialise in securely sending sensitive and high value paper documents, and our mailboxes provide a great solution for businesses operating from home who would rather not share their home address with customers.
“I’m looking forward to bringing all that to the people and businesses of Weybridge, helping local entrepreneurs and established businesses to go national and international, with a friendly, face-to-face customer service through our high street service centre.”
Mail Boxes Etc. is part of MBE Worldwide, which in 2023, served over one million business customers worldwide through its multi-brand operations, generating €1.4 billion.
