Be a Fruit and Veg Ledge! Immediate start available!

At The Fruit and Veg Man, they don't just deliver produce; they deliver health, happiness, and a sense of community. Every delivery, market stall, and sales call is a chance to brighten someone's day. Fresh, top-quality produce and stellar service are at the heart of what they do, and they're looking for someone just as passionate to join the team covering the Northamptonshire and Bedford areas.

The Role in a Nutshell (or Banana Peel!)

The Fruit and Veg Man is on the lookout for a Customer Service Delivery Driver who's ready to wear multiple hats - from delivering fruit and veg, to making sales calls, to help run a bustling market stall. This isn't just a job; it's an opportunity to bring smiles to faces and fresh produce to tables.

Important Note: Early Starts

Your Weekly Routine

• Tuesday - Wednesday: Sales Superstar

Switch gears to sales mode after deliveries to make calls and visit local businesses to expand the customer base.

• Friday: Market Magic

Set up one of the company's market stalls, showcasing vibrant produce and connecting with customers directly.

Your Day-to-Day Duties

• Deliver fresh produce to customers promptly and professionally.
