CitySprint reckons it could take on as many as 300 couriers in anticipation of its busiest Christmas period yet, fuelled by the growth in online shopping.
Last year, the number of retail orders handled by CitySprint increased by a 272.4 per cent in November and 318.7 per cent in December. And the busiest day for retail deliveries was the 23rd December.
In total, it made more than 500,000 UK deliveries in November and December 2011.
