Class II Driver

Palmer and Harvey is the UK's no 1. delivered wholesaler, originally founded in 1925.  After a relatively humble beginning, the company has gone from strength to strength and seen exhilarating growth, with sales now topping £4 billion per year, and spanning all Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sectors.

The Company now employs more than 3,200 employees.  Operating through a unique national infrastructure and with a fleet of over 1,000 vehicles, we deliver to over 63,000 outlets, with a vehicle in every postcode in the UK up to six days a week.

What does the role entail?

Delivering customer orders in a safe, efficient and courteous manner whilst maintaining the security of the vehicle and load at all times.  This is monitored by onboard technology and feedback given so that our drivers continuously strive for the highest professional standards.

• You will need to possess a valid Class C (Class II Licence) ISSUED IN THE UK
• You will need to have a flexible approach:  You could be asked to work any 5 days in 7 to meet the peaks and troughs of business demand.  However, current shift patterns are fairly stable, and rarely include Sundays.
• You should be prepared for the fact that overtime is necessary and commonplace
• You will routinely be handling and distributing alcohol products
• The work is multi-temperature, involving the delivery of ambient, frozen and chilled goods.

Most importantly, the work is multi-drop: You must be prepared for a considerable amount of manual handling, and will need a good geographic awareness of local areas.
