Multi Drop Delivery Driver

Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire

Overview

Job Description

Who are we? Abel & Cole has pioneered organic, ethical and sustainable food delivery for over 30 years. Doing things better is our bread and butter; from saving over 60 million plastic bags by using reusable boxes for our food deliveries, to finding alternatives to plastic long before it hit the headlines. We are forever challenging ourselves to find the most positive way to do business and want everyone to eat organic because it's one way to save the future. It's these values that enabled us to become B Corp certified; an optional audit we've gone through to recognise how we put people and planet before profit, as well as help us find room for further improvement. We're looking for more people to join our team of almost 550, to share our passion for doing the right thing even bigger and better than we do already. In a fast paced and competitive market, we know it's our people who make the difference. We've learnt how important it is to recognise, develop and promote from within; and that trusting people lets them come up with the best ideas and that helps our entrepreneurial spirit to thrive.
