Sue Walkland has written to DPD's customer services saying: "I am writing to express my sadness that you have decided to take Rob off his Kenilworth, CV8, route and send him to Northampton.
"He has been doing this route for 7/8 yrs and is outstanding at his job.

“'Rob is amazing. Always polite, on time, totally reliable'.

“'What a great guy Rob is, let’s hope DPD listen to their customers'.
"Please would you reconsider this decision?
"You will be forcing him to do a 14/15 hour day, which is untenable and certainly will be a health and safety risk.
