PUPILS from a local primary school were given a behind-the-scenes look at Evri’s distribution hub recently.
Almost 50 year two children from Hoyland Common Primary School spent the day exploring the 55-acre site, which plays a key role in parcel distribution across the country.
Since opening its site in Hoyland Common in 2022, Evri has invited pupils every year to learn about the technology behind parcel delivery, continuing its commitment to engaging young minds with hands-on experiences.
During the latest visit, the children learnt about the full journey of a parcel, from arrival to delivery. The tour showcased how parcels are received, sorted, and prepared for transport. They even had the chance to place their own parcels on the belts to watch them travel through the network.
Rosie Huckstepp, from the school, said: “The time spent in the trucks, the factory tour and the car racing were definite highlights – experiences they will remember for a long time.
“The Barnsley team went above and beyond to make the visit engaging, informative, and fun. It was fantastic to see the children learning so much about their local area in such an exciting way.”
