As a Van Driver at our Dagenham Depot, you will be the face of our business, delivering fresh produce to multiple locations throughout the day. You will be supported by the Bicester Warehouse Team who will pre-pick your deliveries for you, so you can focus on delivering!

Your route might not be the same from one day to the next, but we can guarantee you'll meet a variety of customers along the way.
