CitySprint goes on same day delivery recruitment drive ahead of peak season

UK-based same day distribution company, CitySprint, is looking to recruit over 600 couriers.

The new hires will support with logistics demand during this year’s peak season and beyond.

They will join CitySprint’s fleet of over 3,500 couriers across the UK, with the business hiring across a range of vehicles, with a particular focus on small and large vans.

It is also looking to employ drivers for its electric vehicles as it expands its electric van fleet by another 40 by the end of 2022, with more due to be rolled out in the early part of 2023. 

Mike Clarke, a courier for CitySprint in Brighton, says: “Before joining CitySprint in 2020, I was in the building trade for 40 years but was looking for a change.”

“Then, one day, my daughter, who is the Brighton Service Centre Manager, told me all about the type of work that couriers do, and I decided to give it a go.”

“It’s a choice I don’t regret one bit! I love that you’re always on the go and get to travel to loads of different places and meet many interesting people (and lots of dogs!) every single day. It’s honestly the best job I’ve ever had, and I can’t recommend it enough.”

Mark Footman, Chief Operations Officer at CitySprint, comments: “Our focus is always on providing our clients with the best possible service and, in turn, helping them do the same for their customers.”

“Getting the festive-season supply chain right can be difficult and we understand how important this time of year is for everyone.”

“With just over eight weeks to go until Christmas, we’re making sure we have the right team in place to provide a first class service for our customers to help keep their operations moving during this year’s peak season.”

“We’re also bolstering our fleet to support the ongoing demand we foresee in January 2023 and beyond.”
