Hi All,

Does anyone know anything about the new contract Warburtons are taking on at the Bristol Depot? I went for a drivers job there recently and apparently there is a hold up with this new contract so they don’t know when they want the new drivers to start.

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers

Andy

A mate of mine just got a job there and apparently there has been a bit of a delay with the new plant they put in and also they were struggling to get the new ovens upto temperature.

I’ve just been told all trunking at all depots/bakeries (artic work) nationwide has now moved from ‘in house’ to DHL. New contracts etc and drivers are not happy.
Bread men on shop deliveries are still ‘in house’.
(The above may not be fact though a mate who works at one of the bakeries told me the above).

This makes no sense to me why companies do this, they have the infrastructure in place. They are doing it already by themselves with the tightest margins so they bring in a 3rd party to do it at a premium. BLOWS MY MIND
