Summary

Please note, we can only consider drivers over the age of 25 with UK licences due to our insurance requirements.

Background checks and referencing will be necessary, but candidates can start prior to receipt.

I am looking to take on two drivers for my depot in East Horndon, Essex. This is a temporary to permanent role, with the salary to be reviewed within six months.

The parent company holds over 50 years dedicated fashion supply experience, across over 20 countries in the Europe area. The company continues to expand and has now opened an Operating Centre in the UK to provide a dedicated UK service to our end clients. This is a brand new depot, as our existing customers start to move their business over.

The candidate will hold a valid HGV 7.5T Driving Licence (C1), in date Driver CPC Qualification and Digital Tachograph Card.

The role will require the use of a 7.5t vehicle as well as the use of a 3.5t vehicle over the week, so management of driver hours is vital (log book will be provided).

Starts from 05:30 - possibly earlier.

Cover London, South of England and one hit runs up to Midlands. No tramping/overnights.

February 2026 - start date TBC.

We recommend candidates have their own transport to travel to work, due to the location of the depot and duty start times. There are no direct public transport links. Ample ANPR secure car parking is available on site.

The right candidate will have proven experience in:

Multi-drop deliveries and collections - Central London is essential

Unloading goods where required

Completing delivery paperwork accurately

Carrying out daily vehicle checks in full

Providing a professional and reliable service, with detail to strict store delivery windows

The candidate will need:

No more than 6 points (no DD, DR or IN endorsements)
