Making our business inclusive is important to us, and according to a recent Mencap survey, 86% of unemployed people with a learning disability want a paid job. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Mencap to offer supported internships to those with learning disabilities. Meet Tyrique, who has recently completed a 6-week work trial with us in our warehouse and has now moved into a fully paid role. Ty appreciated the valuable skills he learnt and enjoyed the social aspect of working in the warehouse and making great friends along the way. 💙👷♂️
After reducing our carbon emissions by 31% over the past year, we’re committed to continuing this reduction and further decreasing our carbon emissions in all stages of the parcel journey.

The two vehicles join a fleet that already include 190 bio-CNG tractor units, 44 vehicles running on HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil),168 electric vans and over 15 e-cargo bikes.
