Driving Force Recruitment Ltd, operating as an Employment Business, are currently recruiting  HGV Class 1 Drivers  for an established food distribution operation based in  Warrington, WA5 .
This is a fantastic opportunity for drivers looking for  stable, ongoing work with excellent guaranteed hours , working just  4 shifts per week on a rolling 3-week rota .

The Role
You will be completing  store deliveries of food products  to locations across the region.
Drivers will primarily be recruited as  HGV Class 1 drivers; however, you must be flexible and willing to complete HGV Class 2 work when required  as part of the operation.
A major benefit of this role is that  deliveries are made to closed stores , allowing you to complete deliveries without having to work around customers or busy shop floors.
Products are transported on  wheeled cages , which drivers will unload from the vehicle and move into the designated areas within each store.
You will also be responsible for collecting  empty cages, trays and other equipment  for return to the Warrington depot.
This is an active driving role, so drivers must be comfortable with  manual handling and moving cages  rather than looking for trunking-only work.
