UPS UK to hire 1300 temps for Peak

“With the usual increase in online shopping during this period, hiring an additional 1,300 driver helpers will help ensure that we are appropriately staffed to meet our customers’ needs this Christmas,” said Luis Arriaga, MD, UPS UK and Ireland.

Full and part-time seasonal positions can be an entry point for permanent employment says the company. Many senior UPS executives, including CEO David Abney and three other members of the company’s Management Committee, started their UPS careers as part-time employees.

UPS in the UK has approximately 8,000 permanent employees, operates 57 facilities, and has a fleet of more than 2,200 vehicles across the country.
