Hi,
Here is the link for a job application for the new Asda depot at Rochdale.

kingsway-business-park.com/p ā€¦ -jobs.aspx

But just to let you know you have to live within a 10 mile radius of the depot and believe it or not they are not allowing poaching from other firms nearby as they are insisting most of the jobs go to the local unemployed. This was the stipulation when they gave planning permission for the depot to be built. :confused:

Good Luck

My sentiments exactly.

I would say the way Wincanton are going about the recruitment process in this strange way is that they are going to finish up with all the dregs.
At the end of the day there is no substitute for experiance.

A number of drivers from the nearby NFT depot on Stakehill have enquired about a job there but were all told the same ā€œYou can not apply as you are already in employment, as in your case, the NFT Asda contract operating out of Stakehiilā€.

By the way the Rochdale Council owned ā€˜Employment Links Centreā€™ (ELP) are responsible for all the recruitment on behalf of Wincanton here is their link

What on earth do the local council know about transport and distribution?
