The real internet delivery growth is still to come

The transport & logistics sector accounts for around £55 billion turnover, 5% of GDP and employs over 1.7 million people in the UK. Traditionally driven mainly by manufacturing, retail is now leading demand. Recent industry research shows that confidence remains high in the sector, in line with encouraging forecasts of 2.5% growth for the UK economy. That said, operators are aware of the challenges ahead, especially in relation to price sensitivity, oil prices, wage inflation and a possible rise in interest rates.

Amazon’s growth seems to be unstoppable. It is the clear online leader in the UK, thanks to speed of delivery and its vast range. In a world where technology is the forefront of most people’s lives. It’s now easier than ever to have what you want arrive at your doorstep with a click of a button.

Convenience is probably the most important factor, with next day delivery pretty much standard now. Some online retailers are even pushing same-day delivery hard in some areas. It is easy to compare different products online and you can order five shirts, try them all on, and then send four back!

Our advice is to act now and get your driving skills off the ground, the work is there what are you waiting for ?
