Working at Parcelforce

Royal Mail and Parcelforce are more than a household name. They operate in 44 countries around the world employing almost 160,000 people, delivering more than 14.0 billion letters and 1.8 billion parcels every year.
Specialising in connecting companies, customers and communities across the country, Royal Mail Group is committed to <a href="https://www.bluearrow.co.uk/featured-employers/royal-mail/personal-specification/multidrop-delivery-driver">delivering</a>&nbsp;a 'one-price-goes-anywhere', universal <a href="https://www.bluearrow.co.uk/featured-employers/royal-mail/personal-specification/postman-postwoman">postal service&nbsp;</a>to more than 30 million addresses across the UK.
As a leading UK company, Royal Mail Group are undertaking one of the biggest industrial transformations in the UK in recent history. Letter volumes are declining. So, as a company Royal Mail Group are focused on leveraging the <a href="https://www.bluearrow.co.uk/featured-employers/royal-mail/personal-specification/mail-sorter">increasing number of parcels </a>being driven by the growth of the online shopping industry, especially at peak retail times.
As one of the oldest organisations in the world, Royal Mail Group can trace its origins back over 500 years to 1516.
Royal Mail and its forerunner organisations are responsible for&nbsp;a number of&nbsp;global firsts, ranging from the Penny Black stamp to the world's first 'one-price-goes-anywhere' Universal Service.
That proud tradition of innovation continues today as new technology and digital service are introduced and services are expanded at home and abroad.
<h3>1516</h3>
Henry VII knights Brian&nbsp;Tuke, the first Master of the Posts.&nbsp;Tuke&nbsp;establishes key post towns across the country and builds a formal postal network. Although for the next 119 years the postal service operates only for the King and the Court.
<h3>1635</h3>
The postal service is&nbsp;opened up&nbsp;to the general public by Charles I. A Letter Office is established in London and six post roads are formalised to carry mail across the country.
<h3>1660</h3>
The Post Office Act creates the publicly owned postal service. A year later, the world&rsquo;s first postmark is used. It&rsquo;s called the Bishop mark after the Postmaster General, Henry Bishop. It shows the date of dispatch and is designed to give confidence in the speed and reliability of the mail.
<h3>1711</h3>
The Post Office Act paves the way for a unified postal service across Scotland, England and Wales. Ireland follows in 1808.
<h3>1784</h3>
The name Royal Mail is given to the service when mail coaches become a familiar sight across the country.
<h3>1821</h3>
Steam-driven packet ships are introduced to deliver mail across the British Empire and the Commonwealth.
<h3>1830</h3>
Mail starts being carried by train. The first route is between Liverpool and Manchester thanks to an agreement between the General Post Office and the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
<h3>1839</h3>
Uniform postage rates are introduced, replacing a complicated, confusing and expensive system of tariffs. For the first time, the sender pays the postage instead of the recipient.
<h3>1840:&nbsp;The world's first stamp</h3>
The world&rsquo;s first adhesive postal stamp, the Penny Black, is launched. Queen Victoria appears on the stamp and 68 million are used in the first year. As the inventor of the postage stamp, the UK is the only country in the world that doesn&rsquo;t have its name on its stamps.The introduction of the Penny Post leads to a great increase in the popularity of mail.

Royal Mail Group History

With Royal Mail recruiting for so many new job opportunities there is no better way to find out about the reality of a job than from the people who already work in the field every day.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp; 
I am sure we have all wondered what it might be like to work at one of the UK&rsquo;s leading brands, especially a brand like Royal Mail who have been a household name for such a long time. 
 
Reading about a brand is one thing, sure, you get to know what they stand for and how they operate from a customer outlook, but it is the first-hand honest testimonials from existing staff that go so much further to showing you what it is really like to work as a Delivery Driver, Mail Sorter, or a Class 1 Driver. 
 
In a bid to get the inside scoop we invited some of our candidates who were successfully placed into various Royal Mail roles to talk to us about their experiences, from the application through to career progression, the good bits and the not so good.
