Who would want to deliver leaflets?
At JogPost we have heard the old tale that only students deliver leaflets, and because they have their own agenda, they very often dump them. Well we do have students working for us, but we also have other people who love the job for various reasons and find it fits in well with their lifestyle, and we would like to introduce some of them to you:
Justin
Justin is a student, paying his way to university, and he’s also a prop forward on the university’s rugby team. He uses his job with us as part of this fitness regime while earning some much needed extra cash to help him through his studies.
Ellie
Ellie is a single mother who loves to be outdoors with her baby. Ellie delivers leaflets with her baby on her back and enjoys the time outside they have together and the exercise it gives her. She can pick and choose which leaflet drops she does although we have to say that she’s more active in the warmer months of the year!
John
John was a postman. In the year after he retired he put on two and a half stone and was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. John came to us with great credentials obviously, having already delivered for the Royal Mail for 15 years. John is now one of our team leaders, and is really happy to have the chance to keep up his exercise. He’s lost the weight he put on and is no longer considered in the bracket that puts him at risk of developing diabetes.
Stanley
Stanley is a very active retired gentleman and came to us two years ago after his wife died. He felt very isolated and lonely at home on his own, and because he had nursed his wife for three years before her death, he had lost contact with a lot of people used to socialise with. Stanley tells us that he really welcomes the chance to get out and about and chat to people while he’s delivering leaflets.
Jenny
Jenny lost her job in a factory and was looking for something that she could do while she attended interviews for new jobs. She is very keen on keep fit, so the chance to be out walking every day while she’s earning money suits her down to the ground.
Alfie
Alfie is a sixth former who delivers for us at the weekends and in the school holidays. He has brought with him several of his friends who are all very keen to earn money while they’re still at school. When they work together they get the job done superfast as they compete with each other to see who finishes first!
I hope that you can see from this that it is not only students who want to deliver leaflets. We employ a variety of different people, from different backgrounds, all with their own reasons for wanting to do the job and who we are always delighted to welcome into the JogPost family.
