🗞🗞🗞🗞🗞

Okay, let’s start at the beginning…times have changed, and nobody is going to ask you to hop on your bike or walk the streets delivering newspapers!! It’s done in the comfort of your car and you will be paid a decent car allowance

If you are an early riser, this is a good opportunity to earn some good money in a role that you’ll get full training and where you pick up your newspapers and run sheet/addresses each morning and off you go!

The job is varied and good fun - many of the folk who are delivering newspapers have worked in the role for over 10 years and are themselves 50 plus. You are your own boss, delivering to the same route daily.
