Leaflet distribution is one of the businesses that has operated through 2020 thanks to the fact that jobs related to deliveries in general were classified as essential. On top of this in some areas of the UK leaflet distribution was legal during certain periods only if done by a professional.
As such leaflet distribution is most likely going to be a type of business that will be operating through most of the restrictions that could come our way in the coming months and years. As such many people might be looking for a job as a leaflet distributor.
Let’s have a look at what is the job of a leaflet distributor like in London.
Training
At The Private Postman we put a lot of emphasis on the training of our distributors. London is a large city with many variations in the way streets are organised, many types of buildings and neighbourhoods.
Some are hilly and full of small winding roads like Hampstead in North West London, others are spread out and sprawling like Richmond or Wimbledon. On top of this there are areas that are very urbanised closer to the city center which is a kind of environment that brings very specific challenges to the leaflet distribution world.
Most of the training has been organised and put together by our MD and founder Mark Redmond who has a rich history with the Royal Mail and other forms of delivery businesses.
Passing on the experience of years and decades of delivering is crucial to ensure a smooth delivery system is in place and that each distributor can work efficiently. Many of our distributors are also ex-Royal Mail postmen who already have an idea of what is the job of a leaflet distributor like.
Physical Challenges
The job of a leaflet distributor in London can be physically challenging. It is however within the reach of any reasonably fit individual of either gender. There should be no serious heavy lifting involved and generally the emphasis is on endurance.
At The Private Postman we operate some limitations on the amount of deliveries each distributor can do in a day. This is done to prevent over-exertion and the urge to keep delivering for hours and hours.
In a physical job like leaflet distribution in London it is good to have an external checking system on the amount of work being done. On hot summer days the temptation might be to keep going with deliveries for hours and ignore good hydration practices.
This can have bad consequences and we try to minimise this for the distributors we work with.
A leaflet distribution job in London can be a great way to keep fit and make a good income while spending time outside. It is suitable for both men and women and a big variety of ages. If you feel that you might be fit enough consider giving it a try.
