I used to work for Thorntons a few years ago when DHL were given the transport and warehousing.A lot of the work that you will see advertised will be the retail deliveries to stores some class 1 some class 2.some of this may have changed but this is how it was,
A lot of handball involved on the retail runs, putting stock away in the store rooms and removing the waste packaging as a back load back to the yard. The commercial side is a lot of deliveries to RDCsetc with packaging and ingredients collections which go to the factory at Alfreton.
Some of the drivers shuttle trailers that are loaded at the manufacturing side in alfreton up to Langley mill and then return with empty trailers.I still know atleast 1 of the shunters there so any questions you’ve got I can try and ask him for you
Des, Chris, Andy or Steve? I’ll guess at one of them.
As it was a few years ago I’m guessing the Alfreton shunters not any at Langley.
I’m in the lovely Iveco shunt wagon as we speak.
