What the official data says about Westminster
Forklift work is counted inside warehousing and storage, which comes to 700 employee jobs in Westminster, from 814,000 employee jobs across the area.
That count covers whole sites rather than truck types, so counterbalance on the bays, reach in the racking and VNA in the narrow aisles are all inside it, together with the picking most operators also do. Freight, warehousing and courier work together make up 0.15% of employment in Westminster.
Median full-time pay in Westminster was £53,923 a year in 2025 across all occupations combined. Forklift work is not published separately at this level, so treat that as area context and read the rate on the advert.
UK Business Counts recorded 50 warehousing and storage sites in Westminster at the March 2025 reference date, 10 of them employing ten people or more. 40 of them, 80%, employ under ten, below the usual share, so there is more reach, VNA and bendi work here than a small-site area carries.
Of the warehousing and storage employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Westminster, 75 are part time, 9.7% of the split. The middle across London is 16.7%, so Westminster sits below it, 27th of 33 areas on this measure. That is a full-time shift pattern with part-time hours around the edges of it.
Two further counts round out the Westminster picture: 250 employee jobs in freight transport by road, and 240 employee jobs in postal and courier activities.
