‘A brilliant team’

We reintroduced van sharing on a voluntary basis last month and teams throughout the business have been making adjustments to ensure sharing vans is done safely and successfully.

At Skipton Delivery Office, the return to shared vans has been a positive experience thanks to colleagues’ teamwork. Press play to find out how.

Delivery office manager, Shane Whitford, said: ‘It was hard work when it was just one person to a van as colleagues had to go out on a bus or walk to the first delivery point.

‘So, they weren’t too comfortable with that. But they did it, and to be fair to them, all the way through since Covid-19 arrived, they’ve delivered day-in, day-out – they’re just a brilliant team.

Skipton postwoman, Sarah Hunter, added: ‘I’ve got no problems whatsoever with it as long as you stick with the right procedure and keep sanitising as you go around. The van is full of everything we need to keep safe.’
