Evri Group boosts growth with over 3700 new community courier, warehouse, driver and head office roles.
As hiring falls in the logistics sector, Evri Group bucks the trend with thousands of new roles to drive service quality and continued growth
23rd February 2026: Evri Group is announcing plans to create over 3700 new opportunities with a particular focus in operations on courier roles at the heart of local communities to drive up delivery quality.
The announcement follows operational investment of £36 million last year as the business bolstered its operations and service to support parcel volume growth.
This latest investment builds on Evri’s commitment to delivering industry leading service, with close to 4 million 5* Trustpilot reviews and an average courier star rating of 4.7/5, while underpinning its rapid growth following its merger with DHL eCommerce UK. In the last week alone independent data from Parcel2Go found that for UK deliveries, Evri Drop-Off recorded the highest on-time delivery rate in 2025 of all carriers. The same report also ranked Evri Drop-Off as having one of the highest rankings (top 3) for customer satisfaction for International deliveries at 4.54 out of 5.
Evri’s focus on bringing in 3700 new workers including community couriers supports its commitment to further driving service quality as data highlights higher customer satisfaction rates towards couriers that deliver regular rounds and know their communities well.
For couriers themselves, the business offers them the opportunity to drive their own earnings, benefit from the flexibility of being self-employed all whilst earning significantly more than national minimum wage with average rates of £20 per hour for established couriers. Regular round holders also have the opportunity to convert to be a GMB union backed Evri Plus courier which opens up access to holiday pay (28 days annually), pension contributions, dedicated delivery round(s) and guaranteed minimum earnings.
In addition to courier positions, Evri Group is also hiring for self-employed driver roles across the UK with opportunities to earn as much as £1200 a week for experienced drivers, as well as a range of opportunities at all levels within its warehouse and head office functions.
For courier opportunities, roles are open nationwide across the UK, those interested can find out more and apply here. Self-employed driver vacancies with Evri Premium, a network of DHL, are open UK wide and more information is available here. Head office roles which offer hybrid working opportunities range from graduate positions earning £27,000 per annum through to warehouse opportunites and senior IT and management roles earning upwards of £85,000 per annum. All vacancies can be found here.
Gary Robinson Group Director Final Mile at Evri Group said
We’re a global business that hasn’t forgotten its local roots and our customers tell us they appreciate the service given by regular community couriers that get to know their customers. We’re delivering a billion parcels now, but each one matters and as the highest ranked provider for on time deliveries in the UK, we’re committed to investing in creating the roles our customers want as we strive to keep offering higher standards of service that continually raise the bar.
Lyn Warren, Chief HR officer for Evri Group said:
We’re a Group with an exciting future and colleagues joining us benefit from access to fast growth business where they can develop their skills and own their own career with the flexibility to work in a way that works for them. In the last week alone, we have launched a new apprenticeship scheme designed to strengthen data and artificial intelligence (AI) skills across our workforce, highlighting our commitment to supporting our talent to grow and evolve their roles working hand in hand with the latest advancements in technology.
