According to News, Yodel is arranging seasonal finance worth millions of pounds in order to hire over 3,000 couriers and warehousing workers in the upcoming weeks.
The yearly hiring spree precedes Black Friday in November and the Christmas shopping rush. Yodel has hired up to 7,000 employees in the past thanks to this recruitment push.
Weeks after the company received an £85 million investment package from Independent Growth Finance, a specialized lender, and Paypoint, a London-listed company, the relocation has taken place.
According to Yodel, the new positions will allow for flexible work hours.
The organization also mentioned the possibility of temporary positions eventually turning into permanent positions.
The Barclay family, whose holdings included the Ritz hotel in London and the Telegraph newspapers, was the previous owner of Yodel.
Over the following three months, the business anticipates a more than half increase in the number of packages.
Yodel’s CEO, Mike Hancox, stated: “We’re growing our staff to handle the surge in demand for package deliveries as the ecommerce business continues to move from strength to strength as we approach the busiest time of year for merchants.
