NORTHMINSTER BUSINESS PARK
Are you a skilled multi-drop delivery driver?
Do you want to join a family-run business with an ethos to match?
We are proud to the be the largest family owned and family run wine importer in the UK, and we have been trading since 1964.
We are now seeking a proactive and hands-on multi-drop Delivery Driver for an immediate start. You will need good knowledge of the motorway network across the North, our York depot will cover the West to East coast from the top of the Midlands as far up as Alnwick and everything in between.
You will need experience with multi-drop deliveries and will provide exceptional customer service: you will be delivering to premium bars, restaurants, hotels and more. Our drivers are our ambassadors.
From day one, you will be welcomed into the Berkmann family and will be the face of our business, delivering wine and spirits and delighting our customers whatever the weather.
We understand that you have a life and commitments outside of work, so we offer permanent 40 hour week contracts (no overnights). The working pattern is Monday 09:00 – 18:00 and Tuesday to Friday 07:30 – 16:30, with a 1-hour unpaid lunch break.
We often want cover on bank holidays so this is paid at double time; we are looking for drivers who can be flexible.
Our driving team work very closely with the warehouse team; one cannot work without the support of the other. This means that you will be asked to work in the warehouse on ‘quiet’ days or days when you have fewer deliveries than normal. This teamwork is what makes our family company successful.
Driver and software training may be carried out at our York depot. Uniform is provided and you are expected to maintain a clean and tidy delivery vehicle.
