On Armed Forces Day and every other day, we are proud of our continued commitment to the military. As a forces friendly employer since 2015, we have partnered with various organisations helping to provide reservists and veterans with careers suited to the talents and expertise gained during their time in the Armed Forces, to move onto the next step in their career. Ross Lawcock, Engineering Manager at our Wednesbury sortation centre is just one of the many colleagues that has joined Yodel after leaving the Armed Forces and gave us a small snippet into his journey.

Here at Yodel, we’re aware that some customers need additional support, so we have trained & supported the team at Webhelp to provide additional help & assistance to vulnerable customers during their delivery experience. Through our Live Chat & voice services, our team have implemented a process that enables agents to identify individuals who may require extra assistance.
