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 food & drink to our local catering customers
- Delivering on a 7.5t Multi Temp Lorry
- Local rounds, no long motorway miles within Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey.
- Ensuring deliveries meet food safety standards

- 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, approx. 3:15pm finish.
- Occasional Saturdays on a rota — paid or day in lieu.
- £33,000 starting salary
- With attendance and drop bonuses, realistically earn £34,500+
- £1,500 retention bonus — £500 at 3 months, £1,000 at 6 months
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.
