CEO at Evri, Martijn de Lange, told Nub News: "We continue to deliver phenomenal growth at Evri, and none more so than within our hard-working courier network, who are truly the backbone of our business.

"We know that service, reliability and quality are critical factors for our clients and consumers, and so by expanding our self-employed network further, we remain focused on delivering in each of those areas.

"And it's so important that we continue to support our couriers, which is why I'm so proud that we are leading the way with our pioneering 'Evri Plus' initiative, providing couriers with greater protection and benefits alongside the opportunity to retain the flexibility of self-employment."

With a mix of permanent and flexible roles available, Evri couriers in Crewe can typically earn £20.86 an hour on average whilst being able to enjoy the flexibility of delivering parcels anytime between 8am and 8pm.

Evri courier, Mark Padgett, said: "After working for Evri for 13 years, I've made lots of friends through my deliveries in the area I work, and it's a great feeling knowing how much my customers appreciate me.

"Quite a few of my customers are elderly, and I love helping them; just the little things they do makes me love my job even more.

"They invite me into their homes to warm up when it's really cold and praise me to new people who move into the area, so when they order parcels, they know they'll receive them with the greatest care.

Those interested in joining Evri in Crewe will support a busy summer period and other peaks in parcel volumes throughout the year (Evri).

"A huge benefit of being a courier is also how active it keeps me - I have no idea how many steps I do on a daily basis, but it definitely adds up."
