basically im looking to become a cycle courier i cycle round the whole country and have cycled round london for years, recently quit my horrid retail job and have opted for a cycling job.
so can anyone help me in where to begin or which companies are best to contact - it seems to be competitive so i hope im not a newby just worth ignoring.
Pink Express were advertising for company motorcyclists in the Standard on Tuesday. This often means a company will also be looking for pushbikes. They have had the odd good pushbike leave recently. One of their most experienced riders even got talked into being a controller (Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!) but soon told them what they could do with their job. They're one of the better firms to work for. Straightedgeandy is the man in the know. 02078402333 for control.
That's what I have as the bike control number in my little black book. Ring it early morning, after 8am, and Andy will probably answer. (Pink are too tight to give him a co-ordinator at that hour.) He was on the radio this morning, as I heard him being sarcastic when I pulled up alongside a huge fat motorcyclist waiting to cross from Wells Street to Berwick Street. I don't think Andy has much say in who they take on. He'd have to improve his Portuguese considerably to have much say to who they take on. Jamie is still in charge of recruitment. Thick but relatively harmless. 07813697091 is his mobile. He's lasted a good six months now, which is almost gold watch time for office staff at Pink.
