Job Overview

HGV Class 1 Driver – Fresh Produce Collection & RDC Distribution | Ongoing Work | PAYE Description Millison Chase Limited is currently recruiting experienced HGV Class 1 (C+E) Drivers for ongoing Fresh Produce Collection and Distribution work with one of our leading food logistics clients.

This is an excellent opportunity for professional Class 1 Drivers looking for regular, ongoing work transporting fresh produce from farms and food producers to Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs), Customer Distribution Centres (CDCs), packing facilities, and distribution hubs across the UK.
