What the official data says about Renfrewshire
Multi-drop van work sits squarely inside postal and courier activities, counted at 255 employee jobs in Renfrewshire, 0.3% of the 85,000 employee jobs in the area.
Parcel volume follows population and depot placement rather than local industry, so an area with a sorting hub in it carries a count well above its size. Taking freight, warehousing and courier work together, Renfrewshire records 1,705 employee jobs, 2.01% of everything counted locally.
UK Business Counts recorded 85 postal and courier activities workplaces in Renfrewshire at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 80 of them, 94.1%, employ under ten, and many of those are owner-drivers, so employment status matters more here than the vehicle.
Of the postal and courier activities employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Renfrewshire, 50 are part time, 19.6% of the split. The middle across Scotland is 18.9%, so Renfrewshire sits level with it, 14th of 28 areas on this measure. Parcel rounds are built around peaks rather than a working week, and a part-time share at this level is the ordinary result.
Two further counts round out the Renfrewshire picture: 1,000 employee jobs in warehousing and storage, and 450 employee jobs in freight transport by road.
Measured on postal and courier activities, share of all employee jobs, Renfrewshire ranks 5th of the 32 areas in Scotland. The middle across Scotland is 0.1%, against 0.3% in Renfrewshire. Next to Renfrewshire in that order sit West Lothian at 0.31% and South Lanarkshire at 0.24%.

That is the size of the courier trade in Renfrewshire, 255 jobs across 85 workplaces, not a count of rounds going spare. Live adverts are listed above and nowhere else on the page.
