What the official data says about Liverpool

C1 rounds straddle two counts. Liverpool has 1,025 employee jobs in postal and courier activities and 1,750 in freight transport by road, and 7.5 tonne work is run out of both.

Parcel and wholesale operations are where most C1 rounds sit. In Liverpool the courier side alone is 0.36% of the 288,000 employee jobs the survey counts locally.

Across all occupations in Liverpool, median full-time pay was £38,430 a year in 2025. That is the whole local labour market rather than this job, and there is no published local figure for this job to set beside it.

UK Business Counts recorded 270 postal and courier activities workplaces in Liverpool at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 260 of them, 96.3%, employ under ten. C1 rounds run out of the few depots, not the long tail.

Of the postal and courier activities employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Liverpool, 75 are part time, 6.8% of the split. The middle across the North West is 7.1%, so Liverpool sits level with it, 13th of 24 areas on this measure. Almost all of it is full time, which for C1 work usually means a fixed round rather than relief cover.

Two further counts round out the Liverpool picture: 4,000 employee jobs in warehousing and storage, and 6,775 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

The 7.5 tonne driver role

A 7.5 tonne rigid on category C1 is the bridge between a van and a lorry. The rounds are local, the drop counts are high and the vehicle is small enough to get down streets an artic could not attempt.
