UK INDEPENDEN­T parcel carrier Yodel has announced that it is looking to recruit 49 new employees at its Dafen site in Llanelli.

This latest drive comes as the business prepares for what is expected to be a busy festive period.

Yodel’s Llanelli depot is a key site in its nationwide network, handling millions of parcels every year and serving customers across South Wales.

Recent years have seen a dramatic growth in e-commerce, feeding sustained demand for parcel delivery services, with Yodel expecting to handle over 200 million parcels this year.

The recruitmen­t effort follows a series of infrastruc­ture investment­s and will support the business as it scales up its operations.

Mike Hancox, CEO of Yodel, said: “There are a range of roles available based at our Llanelli depot that supports our deliveries across South Wales.

“Christmas is always our busiest time of the year, but with 2022 bringing additional World Cup related shopping, we’re anticipati­ng a festive season like never before.

“By joining Yodel, you will become part of a nationwide family and have options to work either full or part-time to suit your lifestyle.”

Yodel said its neighbourh­ood courier roles suit a wide variety of lifestyles, and no previous experience is required.

In recent years Yodel has developed a specialism in delivering parcels for growing and well-known retailer names.
