What the official data says about Sutton
Multi-drop van work sits squarely inside postal and courier activities, counted at 310 employee jobs in Sutton, 0.44% of the 71,000 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, Sutton records 1,260 employee jobs, 1.77% of everything counted locally.
UK Business Counts recorded 70 postal and courier activities workplaces in Sutton at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 65 of them, 92.9%, 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 Sutton, 75 are part time, 22.4% of the split. The middle across London is 13.5%, so Sutton sits above it, 1st of 33 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 Sutton picture: 600 employee jobs in warehousing and storage, and 350 employee jobs in freight transport by road.
Measured on postal and courier activities, share of all employee jobs, Sutton ranks 5th of the 33 areas in London. The middle across London is 0.15%, against 0.44% in Sutton. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 0.19%. Next to Sutton in that order sit Hillingdon at 0.55% and Ealing at 0.38%.

Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 145. Next to Sutton in that order sit Tower Hamlets at 70 and Kingston upon Thames at 55.
That is the size of the courier trade in Sutton, 310 jobs across 70 workplaces, not a count of rounds going spare. Live adverts are listed above and nowhere else on the page.
