A strike by local postal workers boosted trade at a West Yorkshire-based parcels delivery operation.

Delivery company myHermes saw business soar by 60 per cent at its Parcelshop collection point in the Mace store on Southfield Lane, Bradford, as a result of action by Royal Mail workers over the Easter weekend.

The delivery firm, part of the giant German-based Otto retail group which also includes Bradford-based Freeman Grattan Holdings, said trade at its ten depots across the area rose by an average of ten per cent as a result of the action.

Jonathan Bennett from myHermes said: “We started seeing an increase across the network almost as soon as the strike was announced. We very much hope that now more customers have tried our service they will appreciate how convenient and cost effective it is.”

Probably not long after parcels get left in the rain and soaked through, or door stepped and stolen, etc.
