About The Sofa Delivery Company
At The Sofa Delivery Company, we know that a sofa is one of the most meaningful things someone can buy. That’s why we’re on a mission to be the best two‑person delivery company around, delivering great experiences to our customers that count. As part of the DFS group, we deliver for our group brands – DFS and Sofology. Our colleagues are given the tools, training and support to make moments matter. We recognise and reward our people for going the extra mile, for our customers and each other. Whether you’re in the warehouse, out on the road, or in a customer’s home, at The Sofa Delivery Company you’ll deliver moments that matter. Across our Group, we’re committed to a culture where everyone feels welcome, valued, and can thrive at work. We celebrate diverse voices, champion inclusion, and support each other through our growing colleague networks. We invest in partnerships that drive change, from supporting Doncaster Pride and introducing the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, to partnering with Carers UK and developing leaders with Diversity in Retail. We’re proud to be an equal‑opportunity employer, committed to building a workplace that reflects the communities we serve.
So, if your experience doesn’t quite match the specification, we’d still really love to hear from you.
