Home Delivery Network chief executive Brian Gaunt said: “This achievement is testament to the calibre and commitment of our colleagues at the national sort centre.

“Training at all levels of the business is vitally important to us being able to provide an excellent service to our clients and it is also key to staff development and retention.
