Key Highlights From the Whistl Summer Magazine

Equality Progress & Global Ecommerce Insights:

Closing the Gender Pay Gap: How Whistl Is Leading the Way

Whistl’s commitment to fairness, equality and inclusive career development takes centre stage in this feature on the gender pay gap. The company’s latest report shows that Whistl is outperforming the sector average, paying female employees 5.2% more than male employees.

This achievement comes as part of the UK government requirement for companies with over 250 employees to publish gender pay data, comparing the average hourly wage of men and women.

A Culture Built on Equality and Opportunity

HR Director Lynn Dillon highlights how these results reflect Whistl’s ongoing commitment to equality, noting that the business consistently strives to encourage career progression for all colleagues, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. By championing transparency and ensuring equal opportunities, Whistl is setting a positive example for the wider logistics and transport industry.

Shopping & Shipping Overseas: Meeting the Demands of Global Ecommerce

The growth of international ecommerce continues to reshape customer expectations, and Whistl is helping retailers meet this demand through flexible, scalable and efficient delivery solutions. In this feature interview, Commercial Director Andrew Goddard explains why having the right delivery partner is essential in a cross‑border marketplace. 

Why Agility Is Critical for Global Success

Consumers want convenience, competitive pricing, and flexible delivery options, whether receiving goods from the USA or returning items to the Netherlands. A multi‑carrier delivery strategy, such as the one offered by Whistl, provides retailers with an agile infrastructure that keeps up with changing customer expectations.

Restricting shipping to a single carrier can limit responsiveness if that network is under strain. In contrast, a multi‑carrier model helps retailers:

• Reduce international delivery costs
• Scale more effectively
• Access premium, standard, tracked and untracked services
• Offer customers delivery choices to suit their budget and timeline

All these advantages create a strong, customer‑friendly delivery experience.

Meeting Global Demand as Ecommerce Grows.

Whistl continues to evolve alongside the growth of global ecommerce, ensuring customers receive fast, convenient fulfilment and delivery, regardless of destination.

This article underscores the importance of smart delivery management and international shipping strategies for retailers looking to stay competitive.
