Full Job Description
7.5t Delivery Driver - Full Time
Dennis Edwards for Foodservice, Hilsea, Portsmouth PO3 5JF
Why you'll want to stay
We're a small, family-owned business — not a courier, not an agency, not a faceless fleet. We've been doing this a long time, and we do it properly.
We know your name. Our customers know your name. And when you pull up, they're genuinely pleased to see you.
If you've come from a role where you were just a number, finished late most nights, and never saw your family — this is the total opposite of that.
What you'll actually be doing
- Multi-drop deliveries of Pre-picked & checked food & drink to our local catering customers. No searching through bulk pallets on your vehicle as everything is packed into labelled crates already.
- Delivering on a 7.5t Multi Temp Lorry, carrying out vehicle checks every morning.
- Local rounds, no long motorway miles within Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey.
- Ensuring deliveries meet food safety standards
- Being the face of the company — calm, polite, professional
What we need from you
- Cat C1 or Class2 licenced
- CPC & Digi Tacho Card (we'll help with module renewals if needed)
- Physically fit and comfortable with multi-drop
- Good work ethic, reliable, on time
- Previous multi-drop experience is a bonus but not essential — attitude matters more
Hours & pay
- Mon–Fri, 6am start, to finish.
- Occasional Saturdays on a rota — paid or day in lieu.
- £34,100 Annual Salary, paid monthly into your bank.
What you get
- 28 days paid leave (inc. bank holidays)
- Extra holiday days for length of service
- Workplace pension
- A birthday cake — yes, really
- A team that actually values you
- Transparency
What we don't do
- Late finishes that eat into your evening
- Treating drivers like a number on a sheet
- Making promises we can't keep
Please note
- Bank holiday deliveries are normal work days for us:
- (except Xmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day)
- Occasional Saturday work, on a published rota, compensated.
- You must be eligible to live and work in the UKInterested?
