The story behind Baboon Jack Direct Deliveries Ltd, many asked why the name...

Baboon Jack is isn't just another courier service. Its name rooted in history and in grit.

Our company is inspired by Jack the Baboon, a remarkable baboon who worked on the South Africa railways in the 1880s.

YES - REALLY.

After railway signalman James 'Jumper' Wide lost his legs in an accident, he needed help to continue working. In 1881, he adopted Jack, a Cape Baboon, and trained him to operate signals and assist with daily tasks.

What happened next became legend. For nine years Jack worked alongside James on the railway. He learned to:

• Operate signals correctly

• Recognise train whistles

• Follow strict operational procedures

• Assist reliably and safely

And in all that time, he never made a single operational mistake. Jack was eventually officially recognised by the railways authorities and even received wages and rations like any other employee.

Why we chose the name Baboon Jack represents everything we believe a courier service should be:

• Reliability - No mistakes. no excuses.

• Loyalty - Showing up every time.

• Intelligence - Precision and attention to detail.

• Resilience - Finding a way, even when the route isn't easy.

Just like Jack, we take pride in doing the job properly.
