What the official data says about Wrexham
Rigid lorry work turns up in two industries at once. Wrexham holds 500 employee jobs in freight transport by road and 250 in warehousing and storage.
The balance between those two counts says more about class 2 work in Wrexham than either number on its own. Warehousing sits below road freight here, which usually means more general haulage and less own-account distribution.
Freight, warehousing and courier work together come to 790 employee jobs in Wrexham, out of 60,000 employee jobs in the area as a whole.
UK Business Counts recorded 85 freight transport by road workplaces in Wrexham at the March 2025 reference date, 15 of them employing ten people or more. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 65 of them, 76.5%, employ under ten, well below the usual share. Rigid work shaped like this sits with distribution rather than general haulage: fixed starts, multi-drop, handball.

The middle across Wales is 35.7%, so Wrexham sits above it, 9th of 22 areas on this measure. That is a high part-time share for road freight, which in an area this size usually reflects relief and seasonal rounds rather than a different kind of employer.
