Making Courier Jobs Cool

Posted by Gertie on 20-Apr-2017 17:58:08

Hello, darlings!

Before we even begin, I want to get something straight: that title up there, it's a pun. You'll see what on in a moment, but yes – if you were coming in expecting me to tell you why or how courier jobs can make you look good in front of your friends, that's not what we'll be talking about here. Because (before I get deluged with emails) if you're a courier and get to be out on the road all day instead of stuck in an office, you probably already ARE the envy of all your friends!

Hello, dears!

Well – I'm not even going to try with this week's topic. When I stumbled across it, I started reading and I must be honest, it made absolutely no sense to me. But I did recognise that it would make a very interesting and useful blog post, so… I'm bowing out and leaving the explaining to someone else! I knew I needed someone who could make heads and tails of the subject, so here's my nephew Stevie to talk about the benefits of tinted windows to self employed drivers and couriers. Or something like that...

The Future Of Delivery Services - Trends For 2017

Posted by Gertie on 10-Feb-2017 11:47:50

Hello, darlings!

Well – what do you know? Every time I think I know you lot, you turn around and surprise me! An example? I thought I would get called all sorts for promising good times and then making a post about taxes, but I got the exact opposite reaction! My post about what to claim and what taxes to pay if you work in delivery services was a massive hit, and I've had loads of requests to talk about another subject in plain and simple terms! And when you lot are so insistent, who am I to say no?
