Parcels firm DPD seeks to hire 100 more drivers as business 'goes through roof'

Parcel firm DPD said it is seeking to recruit a further 100 drivers in Dublin, Cork, and Limerick, as online purchases boom and deliveries soar to households forced to stay at home during the Covid-19 crisis.

Delivery firms and couriers, along with parts of the healthcare, are one of the very few industries to be recruiting staff amid the massive jobs shake-out across the Irish economy in the last month.
