Britain's Royal Mail said its first-quarter revenue grew one per cent, and that it remained focussed on operational and financial efficiency as competition remains fierce in the domestic postal and parcel markets.

The former monopoly said volumes and revenue at its European parcels arm GLS grew 13 per cent, offsetting a one per cent fall in revenue in the UK.
