Jamie Boyd, founder & MD of Today Team, has announced a recruitment drive which coincides with the firm turning ‘Sweet 16’.

It has been a long journey – both on and off the road – to get to where we are today, and I am grateful to all our colleagues, customers and supporters over the last 16 years,

said Jamie, who lives in Castlefield, Manchester.

I would especially like to thank The Prince’s Trust, who gave me a helping hand when a knee injury ended my professional rugby league career aged 24. I used a £3,000 loan from the Trust to rent a van and put some fuel in it. Since 2005, I have turned my one-man courier service into a seven-figure venture that serves all corners of the UK.

Today Team’s latest appointments are Logistics Team Manager Mark Hurd and Marketing Manager Sian Page.

Having worked remotely to start with, the new team members are now getting to know each other in person at Today Team’s headquarters, which is located in Risley, Warrington.

I am delighted to welcome our new team members and I look forward to working with them to shape the future of the business, I would also like to thank our existing staff for helping their new colleagues to settle into their roles. Just like in every other business, the pandemic took its toll initially; however, we have been able to turn things around and go from strength to strength – smashing all our monthly targets. I am proud that we are now on track to reach £1.8m in turnover this financial year, which represents a 35% growth compared to 2019. This gives us a strong foundation to build upon as we head into our busiest time of the year.
