7.5 Tonne Driver

Savona services 20 counties across the South East, South West and Central England, delivering in our fleet of 50+ multi-temperature vehicles to the hospitality, education, care, contract catering and leisure sectors. We are a modern brand, on a mission to provide excellent customer service with the values we hold dear. Employing around 220 staff, we have two locations:
Kidlington in Oxford, Ilfracombe in Devon and London

We are currently looking for a 7.5t Driver to play an important role in offering outstanding service to our customers. We pride ourselves on honest, transparent relationships both internally and with customers, and our entire operation is with a customer‑centric focus, with the aim to maintain outstanding service.

You’ll be part of a close‑knit team of multidrop drivers who work together to get the job done. This isn’t a lonely, long‑distance driving role. You’ll be delivering great food and other catering products to a huge range of customers across the region. Once there, you’ll be delivering the goods straight to the chefs and managers who make the orders. You’ll also be the one transferring the goods from your lorry to the customer – on cages, pallets or by sack truck.

Some orders can be very large and time consuming, so it’s a job with a real physical element.

We are looking for someone who is efficient and organised; you need to enjoy the challenge of being given a lorry full of goods and getting it to the right people at the right time. Personality is key. You’ll interact with the customers at every drop off – so you’ll need to be sociable, polite and respectful, even when under time pressure.

A digital tachograph driver card and your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) is required. Ongoing CPC development will be funded by Savona, to help you keep these qualifications up to date and uniform to maintain professionalism at all times.

Previous experience in multidrop Wholesale Food Distribution is an advantage but not essential.

Savona Food service maintains large warehouses at every depot to accommodate a diverse array of food items. Prior to visiting any of our depots, please contact us if you have any food product intolerances.

Start times between 5 am and 6 am Monday to Friday with Saturday working required on a rota basis.

This requires a self‑motivated individual.

Driving experience preferred.

• 1 year (preferred)

• Driver CPC

• Attention detail, methodical and thorough
• Able to adhere to processes
• Able to build productive working relationships with staff and peers
