Amidst a difficult time of sober headlines, new restrictions, and local lockdown announcements, any good news is received with a warm welcome.
The Zeus team were delighted to share the news that Beelivery, the UK’s largest on-demand grocery delivery service, will create an additional 20,000 jobs between now and Christmas in response to a rising demand for its services.
The majority of new roles will be self-employed home-based driver positions which provide the flexibility many want. Additionally, Beelivery is recruiting for permanent employed software programmers, data analysts, data scientists, operational, customer service and logistics professionals.
Coronavirus has greatly impacted the nation’s grocery shopping habits with more people shifting towards online shopping. Beelivery, alongside delivery giants such as Amazon Fresh & Ocado, has been exceptionally busy with home deliveries for those who wish to avoid crowded supermarkets or just appreciate the convenience.
Beelivery took on thousands of part-time workers during the pandemic (an amazing 10,000 driver roles so far in 2020), and this fantastic job creation news provides a glimmer of hope for many who have been made redundant due to COVID-19.
There was a great media response to this positive news, with coverage secured in several business and trade titles including Retail Times, Insider Media and BusinessLive.
Speaking to BusinessLive, Lee Parkinson, founder and CEO of Beelivery said “We have a unique business model in the UK – whereas others rely on signing up shops to their delivery services, our drivers can go to any one – so the customer does not select a particular store, just the products that they want.”
Beelivery guarantees to deliver a wide range of essentials across the UK within 60 minutes. Harnessing the power of the local community, Beelivery works with over 19,000 independent, registered drivers who are on hand to purchase and deliver your groceries straight to your door. To place an order, simply register for an account on Beelivery.com or download the Beelivery App from the App Store or Google Play, then browse the wide range of products from bread, milk and flour, to wine and snacks. Your delivery will arrive at your doorstep within 15 – 60 minutes, anytime of the day or night.
