There is an Ocado in Hatfield (and further afield W H Malcolm in Harlow) - although there has been some negative about the latter on here in the past. Longcrofts in Royston. Tesco RDC In Welham Green is still going AFIK.

I’ve lived in Hoddesdon and Harlow all my driving career. Apart from agency work and 6 months on Matthews, I’ve not worked in the area since 2003. The money is bobbins

Culina hoddesdon,Monday-Friday, 48 HR a week contract.£30,525pa.
Do you/have you worked for them ? A guy at my old firm worked for them but ended up coming back to us and that firm was dodgy as anything.
Still worth a try
Thanks
I work there now,but leaving end of the month,only reason is I’ve done my ADR and I’m going on the tankers.
Standard company really mate, good and bad days,I’ll average about 40-42 hrs a week.Left alone,deliverys to bestways and alike or collections from Thames,Plaistow or stobart’s (sugar).

So I’m noticing ! That’s why I’m asking what else is about as all the advertised jobs are a joke. I mean I don’t want to come off as fussy but welchs for example on class 1 are advertising £8 odd an hour.
Agency are doing better than that but I need more stability and abit of holiday pay would be nice.
How was Matthews ? Would you recommend them at all ? (I’m guessing by the short time you were there no, but you don’t ask you don’t know)
Matthews was a nice family run firm, good equipment although small and underpowered by today’s standards. The money was the issue for me. You were paid productivity bonus, but you couldn’t get enough work in. The stupid thing is you can earn more on a rigid than an artic, even though you do less hours. Have you tried frontier grain and marshals at sandy? Not far away but I haven’t a clue about money

Really? £8.00! Surprised they can get any drivers for that - I pay my van lads more than that and the Class 1s are on distinctly more than 8 quid and we are in Stevenage.
Not looking for Class 1 though and we do Euro work so away.
They’re a bit up the A1 from you, might be worth a try. I don’t know much about them other than it appears to be mostly fridge work, kit’s in reasonable order and it’s quite a large fleet.

I’m running out of Bowmans in Ickleford at the minute and all but one of our drivers are ex frontier boys. It’s pretty much out all week with them so no good for me at the minute. I’ve got a 16 month old and a newborn so the misses needs abit of help otherwise I’d be abit moe open to nights away.

Yeah they are advertising £8.15 plus monthly compliance, now the way I see that is any grief you get gets taken from the compliance money, so bottom dollar £8.15 is an absolute joke.

Thanks for that I forgot about them, I think they are Bedford way, Not too far from me.
