What the official data says about Glasgow City
Multi-drop van work sits squarely inside postal and courier activities, counted at 450 employee jobs in Glasgow City, 0.1% of the 442,000 employee jobs in the area.

UK Business Counts recorded 330 postal and courier activities workplaces in Glasgow City at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 325 of them, 98.5%, employ under ten.
