We’re looking for a fresh squad of ambitious Apprentice LGV Drivers to join our Hinckley hub. This isn't just about driving from A to B - it’s about mastering the logic and tech behind the UK’s favorite parcel network.

• Retail Discounts: Save at 100s of retailers (including 5% off your weekly shop).

• On the Road: Learning professional driving, route optimization, and vehicle safety.
• In the Hub: Loading/unloading vehicles and mastering warehouse logistics.
• In the Office: Getting a behind-the-scenes look at how we plan and track the nation’s deliveries.
• Maintenance: Learning to conduct full vehicle "health checks" and reporting faults to keep the fleet 100%.
• The Skills: Learning the tech behind the deliveries and maintaining high safety standards.

What We’re Looking For

• The Basics: You’re 18+ and have held a UK Category B license for at least 12 months.

• The Energy: You’re independently motivated and ready to show up with Passion, Respect, and Honesty.
