Romania's B2B Parcel Delivery Market at 40 Mln Euro in 2006

Posted by | Oct 26, 2006 | |

Romania’s business-to-business (B2B) parcel delivery market will reach 40 million euro (USD50.3 million) this year, a top official of express delivery services company TNT Romania, a subsidiary of the Dutch TNT Express, said.
“The B2B market will be around 40 million euro by the end of this year. The market was about 25-30% lower last year,” Bogdan Dragotoiu, TNT Romania country customer service manager, told SeeNews in a recent interview.
The market is in the midst of an adolescent growth phase, with an increasing degree of awareness of the delivery solutions throughout the companies active in Romania, he said.
Dragotoiu said he estimates the country’s parcel delivery market will grow by more than 40% in 2007, mostly due to Romania’s accession to the European Union on January 1 next year.

Posted by | Oct 25, 2006 | |

From the beginning of November, Correos will have nearly 4,000 additional permanent employees in its workforce.

A further 800 people will take up stable employment with the company to help provide the Universal Postal Service in rural areas. And in the next few months, a further 5,000 people will be employed on permanent contracts for specific times of the year; these workers will help cover holiday periods and peak times, such as the summer and Christmas campaigns.

This system will encourage the dynamic and decentralised incorporation of workers to permanent positions, and will enable vacant positions to be covered more effectively, resulting in an increase in the quality of employment and an increase in the quality of the postal service provided to our customers.
