What the official data says about Halton
Multi-drop van work sits squarely inside postal and courier activities, counted at 245 employee jobs in Halton, 0.38% of the 65,000 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, Halton records 4,745 employee jobs, 7.3% of everything counted locally.
UK Business Counts recorded 90 postal and courier activities workplaces in Halton 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.

The middle across the North West is 7.1%, so Halton sits above it, 10th of 24 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 Halton picture: 2,500 employee jobs in warehousing and storage, and 2,000 employee jobs in freight transport by road.
