What the official data says about Surrey
C1 rounds straddle two counts. Surrey has 1,900 employee jobs in postal and courier activities and 2,250 in freight transport by road, and 7.5 tonne work is run out of both.
Parcel and wholesale operations are where most C1 rounds sit. In Surrey the courier side alone is 0.33% of the 570,000 employee jobs the survey counts locally.
Across all occupations in Surrey, median full-time pay was £42,500 a year in 2025. That is the whole local labour market rather than this job, and there is no published local figure for this job to set beside it.
UK Business Counts recorded 385 postal and courier activities workplaces in Surrey at the March 2025 reference date, 25 of them employing ten people or more. 360 of them, 93.5%, employ under ten. The handful that do not are where C1 rounds are loaded and dispatched.
Of the postal and courier activities employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Surrey, 275 are part time, 14.5% of the split.

The 7.5 tonne driver role
A 7.5 tonne rigid on category C1 is the bridge between a van and a lorry. The rounds are local, the drop counts are high and the vehicle is small enough to get down streets an artic could not attempt.
