Then you could find yourself earning some extra cash away from your recruitment agency as a packing professional this summer.

Bark.com, a site that connects customers with local service providers, is seeking professionals for its new ‘professional holiday packer and planner’ service for holidaymakers.

Professionals can expect to earn up to £45 an hour to come and take care of all holiday admin and packing, including buying the essentials, packing the customer’s suitcase (under supervision), preparing instructions to pack properly when travelling home, organising all admin, so all paperwork is in the order they need it.
