Evri launches courier recruitment drive in Glasgow
Expanding across Scotland, these additions will form part of the brand's largest-ever self-employed courier network of more than 33,000.
The new recruits will join the 'Evri Plus' initiative, which is said to be the UK's only union-backed courier scheme, offering benefits like paid holidays, minimum wage, pension contributions, and parental leave.

They also benefit from wellbeing services and discounts at major retailers.

As one of the UK's biggest parcel delivery firms, Evri has seen significant growth over the past decade.
This announcement follows last month's merger with DHL eCommerce UK and the acquisition of Coll-8.
Martijn de Lange, chief executive officer at Evri, said: "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.
"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."
Mark Padgett, Evri courier, 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."
The firm recently launched a 'Go Electric' scheme, offering up to £3,300 towards an electric vehicle over two years.
