Parcel2Go hails UK's entrepreneurial spirit
Released on: February 06, 2012, 10:02 am Online parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go has applauded the drive and will to succeed of the thousands of people across the UK who decide to start their own businesses. In the face of rising unemployment across Britain and the threat of a double-dip recession, entrepreneurs of all kinds are grasping the opportunity to take control of their own future. Figures released last month by the Office for National Statistics showed the number
of people registered as self-employed in the UK increased by 101,000 during the
three months to November 2011, representing a 3.5 per cent year-on-year increase. "Parcel2Go works with a large number of small businesses, including many one-man bands selling products through online retail sites such as eBay. We know how much effort it takes to create a successful business and we want to take the opportunity to applaud those people who have seized the opportunity." According to recent surveys, it's certainly not just young people in Britain who
are finding the 'get up and go' to start their own businesses. An increasing
number of 'silver entrepreneurs' are coming to the fore – enterprising pensioners
who are looking to use their skills and experience to help boost their pension funds
by working as freelance consultants and setting up their own online firms. - ENDS - About Parcel2Go: For further information contact:
