Discover the best of both worlds. As the UK industry leader, we offer job security and career development – with the family feel, rewards and recognition of our friendly warehouse team in Tamworth. We take pride in looking after our people. So, as well as plenty of perks, a generous salary, realistic bonuses and other financial rewards, you’ll enjoy the training and support to go far.

We supply great food to some of the best-known restaurants and pubs. As a shunter, you will be responsible for our 14T, 18T and 26T multi-temp vehicles on site, setting and monitoring their temperatures, reporting any defects and shunting them around the site to ensure optimisation of our loading operation. It starts with a full induction, but with our backing you will complete an extensive training plan, including slow manoeuvring. So, once you’re in, there are plenty of opportunities to move shifts, move roles and move up – if that’s what you want to do.

The roles involve Shunting 80% and Warehouse duties 20% - To join us as a shunter, Class 2 HGV driving experience would be great, but not essential! You must, however, be a very competent driver holding a full licence and no points. Safety conscious and excellent spatial awareness goes without saying!

• Pension scheme
• Generous annual leave with option to buy more
• Heavily discounted quality food
• Reward, recognition and referral schemes
• Free food days, family days and summer BBQs
• Charitable events to get involved with
