Overview
About the event
The concept of delivery riders isn�??t necessarily a new one, tracing its roots back to couriers who would tootle around on their bicycles delivering messages, papers or other small items.
These messengers began appearing almost immediately following the invention of the two bicycles in the mid-1800s.
Although the concept may have evolved over the years, the usefulness of these delivery drivers remains. Today�??s delivery riders have special, insulated packs that they can place on their backs to make it possible for them to carry several food orders at a time for delivery. It�??s an efficient system that benefits everyone involved.
A fairly recent event, the inaugural celebration of International Delivery Driver Appreciation Day took place in 2023 when it was organized through the efforts of the Hungry Panda company, a specialist food delivery company located in London.
