Tommie Courier Services has announced that more than 500 people have now launched their own courier businesses through its “Become a Courier” training programme, marking a major milestone in helping individuals move towards financial independence and self-employment.
The company was founded to make the courier industry more accessible to those new to business ownership. Its training covers everything from getting started and handling business logistics to finding regular clients and managing routes effectively. The goal is to give people the clarity and confidence needed to run a profitable business on their own terms.
Tommie Cotterell, Founder of Tommie Courier Services, said: “We are delighted that our training program has passed the milestone of helping over 500 individuals turn their dreams into thriving courier businesses. Our mission has always been to create pathways for others to succeed.
“Business isn’t about working less, it’s about working for yourself. When you’re in control of your time, your money, and your direction, that’s when you start living.”
The milestone reflects a growing shift in the UK workforce towards flexible, self-managed work. Graduates of the programme have gone on to secure steady delivery routes, partner with national networks, and in some cases expand into managing additional vehicles and staff.
