Independent parcel carrier Yodel has donated more than £1,000 to The Royal British Legion in recognition of Remembrance Day. Highlighting its long-standing commitment to the Poppy Appeal, Yodel also displayed poppies on 50 of its trailers to show support for The Royal British Legion during the month of November.
Yodel is a Forces Friendly Employer, which has been helping link reservists and veterans with careers that suit their talents and expertise they gained during their time in the Armed Forces. Last year Yodel was awarded a Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award for being one of the UK’s top armed-forces employers. It is the highest level of award available and is only bestowed by the Ministry of Defence to organisations who have gone above and beyond the Armed Forces Covenant commitment.
Yodel currently employs 74 military veterans, reservists, volunteers and spouses across the business, including support staff at its main Hatfield and Liverpool offices, customer delivery depot managers and drivers. Dave Wakelin, who has been working at Yodel for 16 years and a volunteer for the Royal British Legion for over 10 years, helped raise money for the cause with support from his colleagues at Yodel’s Wednesbury depot.
