The Best HGV job you will ever do!

Large Goods Vehicles (LGV) drivers will undertake delivery and collection of products to and from a variety of locations in line with all company policies and procedures.

Our HGV Drivers are our unsung heroes and whilst most of us are sleeping they are distributing our products to ensure it's there as and when we need it. Overnight, late in the day and/or early in the morning - even on weekends.  You have the option to work 32 hours over 4 days or 40 hours over 5 days.  Our routes are assigned up to 12.5 hours per day and as such you will regularly be expected to carry out additional hours as required.

Day-to-day you will collect shopping from our state-of-the-art warehouses and take it to our smaller regional sites. No multi drops or hidden lanes. 

What do you get in return?
