This means getting to know the people you meet on your routes, making every delivery on time, and meeting the highest safety and legal standards. And if you haven’t already guessed, it’s a physically demanding role - but it’s also a very rewarding one!

We return the favour.
This is a role for Drivers who enjoy meeting people – and delivering a service that makes their customers’ lives easier. Whilst you are caring for our customers, we’ll be caring for you. We will give you supportive, flexible managers, who understand your role, and what you need from them, as well as great tech and equipment. Your shifts will be Monday to Friday, We’re proud of the way we treat our drivers – from the training we give, to the fact that during the pandemic we’ve kept our driving teams together. Join today and be part of our team of drivers who are making history, helping to rebuild the nation and the hospitality sector.
The role
This is not a lonely, long-distance driving role. You will be delivering great food and other catering products to a range of customers throughout the night. These will be a range of restaurants and pubs. Our vehicles are all kitted out with the latest tech, including telematics, but you will have to use plenty of initiative to find the drop off points. Once there, you will be delivering the goods straight to the chefs and managers who make the orders or you will be opening up stores to make deliveries – You’ll also be the one transferring the goods from your lorry to the customer – on cages stacked with pallets. Some orders can be large, so it is a job with a real physical element. Health and safety is our top priority and so we will ensure you will have all the latest training and PPE you will need to carry out these responsibilities safely.
What you’ll need
You will be efficient and organised, you need to enjoy the challenge of being given a lorry full of goods and getting it to the right people at the right time. Personality is key. You will interact with the customers at every drop off – so you’ll need to enjoy meeting them, and doing all you can to make their life easier. In addition, you need to able to move cages and pallets that can be heavy.
Qualifications-wise, you need a category C LGV License. You will also have your digital tachograph driver card and your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), or be willing to train for it. We will pay for ongoing CPC development to help you keep these qualifications up to date.
