The delivery company Hermes
has announced that it is planning to expand its services. Based in Yorkshire,
the firm is going to disburse £100 million and aims to create 10,500 jobs
across the UK.
The firm has decided to invest into an expansion programme
following an increase in demand for people shopping from home during the
coronavirus lockdown. One of the firms’ spokesperson said, “The company is
looking for around 1,500 full-time staff, including some roles at its head
office in Yorkshire, and throughout its UK network for drivers, warehouse
operatives, managers and supervisors”. He also advanced that there are
opportunities for 9,000 more self-employed couriers across the UK. They will have
the option of becoming SE+ couriers with guaranteed holiday pay as part of
Hermes’ deal with the GMB Union. The
firm has already started its recruitment process.
More than £30 million has already been invested in the
expansion this year. It was used for the opening of an additional 90 new sub
depots, new vehicles and innovative customer service technology. Hermes
is planning to disburse more money to strengthen its infrastructure so that it
is able to handle its predicted parcels volumes of 3.5 million each day during Black
Friday and Christmas.
