UPS and Pegasus Couriers grows
Get your documents – Intranet is live
The Pegasus Couriers internal network allows drivers immediate access to company documents and policies.
More than 150 contractors and staff have signed up to the network, also known as the Intranet.
The sign-up process is being implemented in phases; however, if you want to jump the gun – feel free to sign up on the below link.
Some of the documents you will have on hand include the health and safety policies, driving manuals, vehicle forms, emergency procedures, accident forms, pay query forms and much more.
How does it work?
Vans will be issued with a QR bar code and a plastic holder. This will be placed in the front passenger windscreen.
If you want any documents in an emergency, you scan the QR code.
The emergency procedures display depot managers’ contacts and third-party companies we use to maintain our fleet – in the event you want to contact them.
If you want to subscribe without the QR code, simply register here.

Noise detection camera project
The government has launched a competition to find Britain’s noisiest streets. The competition will see noise detection cameras placed in “problem areas” as part of a pilot project.
The project, which has seen the government spend £300,000 on the trial, is part of a 3-year test project.
According to the department, noise pollution can have a significant impact on physical and mental health – with heart attacks, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and stress all linked to long-term contact with loud environments….. Read more here.
Wise can save drivers time and money
Being your own boss offers you freedom but also comes with legal responsibility.
To help drivers submit their documents and pay taxes, Pegasus Couriers endorses accounting industry leaders, Wise
Wise can get Pegasus Couriers self-employed drivers more money back through government schemes.
A study by Wise shows that over 40% of young British workers think that self-employment is the best way to work satisfaction.
Wise Chief Executive Officer Simon Hills said that some of the issues subcontractors face include onboarding, documentation, tax compliance, managing accounts, and more.
“To assist with this, Wise has created a digital platform that helps drivers save time and money. Over 50,000 UK subcontractors already use this system,” he said.
Hills explains that the mobile app allows subcontractors to submit documents. “We are passionate about supporting self-employed people across the UK.”

Consolidation of delivery sites
This has been a bumper start to the year, with several changes in the first few months.
The changes are aligned with the company’s consolidation strategy to meet targets and ensure long-term sustainability.
Between May and April 2022, DXG 1 in Glasgow was ranked number 5 for outstanding performance across the UK.
In addition, NEH in Inverness was ranked the top-performing depot in Scotland for April.
This comes on the back of some depots and sites consolidating their resources.
This is great work, and I look forward to similar results in the future.
