What the official data says about Hackney
Multi-drop van work sits squarely inside postal and courier activities, counted at 125 employee jobs in Hackney, 0.07% of the 168,000 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, Hackney records 1,550 employee jobs, 0.92% of everything counted locally.
UK Business Counts recorded 115 postal and courier activities workplaces in Hackney at the March 2025 reference date. Every one of them is recorded as employing under ten. A one-person courier operation is usually an owner-driver, and an owner-driver round is a contract, not a job.
Of the postal and courier activities employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Hackney, 15 are part time, 10.7% of the split. The middle across London is 13.5%, so Hackney sits below it, 21st of 33 areas on this measure. That is a mostly full-time split, which tends to go with employed rounds on a fixed rota.
Two further counts round out the Hackney picture: 1,250 employee jobs in warehousing and storage, and 175 employee jobs in freight transport by road.
Measured on postal and courier activities, share of all employee jobs, Hackney ranks 25th of the 33 areas in London. The middle across London is 0.15%, against 0.07% in Hackney.
