Postal group TNT is to create hundreds of new jobs under plans to double its workforce in London.
The announcement, ahead of the latest unemployment figures due out today, will lead to 400 new posts in parts of the capital under expansion plans, which will see four new delivery units being opened.
TNT Post said it was focusing on creating opportunities for young and long-term unemployed, adding that the flexibility of its jobs were particularly appealing for local residents, women returning to work and school-leavers.
Nick Wells, chief executive of the Dutch-owned delivery giant, said: "We are passionate about creating jobs. These jobs have been filled by people who may have found it difficult to get back into, or even join, the workforce.
"We are committed to helping develop people's careers and our focus on training and development will not only benefit TNT Post employees, but also the wider business community."

TNT Post began an end-to-end delivery service in competition with Royal Mail in April 2012 in West London and has since extended its operations to South West London and Manchester, with the intention of creating a nationwide delivery network to households across the UK by 2015.
The company has created 1,000 jobs in London, saying this will double to 2,000.

plenty of zero hour contracts then @ minimum wage and with probably no security checks etc either.

Younger they are, the lower their wage.
It's purely profit driven.
Though, they appear to be wrapping it up as though they're doing a favour for youngsters and the unemployed.

Royal Mail don't get a "20% exemption". Most of our work, due to the Universal Service Obligation, is simply VAT exempt. always has been and always should be.
As for "what Government Subsidies do TNT get" there's things like the Income support and other benefits for their employees on minimum wage.
