Wincanton depot jobs in jeopardy
28 March 2008
About 300 jobs could be under threat at two Wincanton sites in the north of England. This follows Sainsbury’s decision to consolidate operations supporting its convenience store business to a depot at Sherburn-in-Elmet, North Yorkshire. The two affected depots are at Maltby, South Yorkshire, and Skelton in Teesside. A Wincanton spokesman says it is looking to redeploy staff to other sites in the region. However, the firm is talking to customers about potential use for the two sites.
Applied for this and have been invited to interview and if successful driving assessment and medical a week on friday.
Can anybody advise what kind of questions come up at driving interviews ■■?(as i have only done agency work for the last couple of years)
Medical - no fears there and suppose the driving assessment will be a half an hour with their top oppo (or in the case of recent posts - dodgy 50’s assessor just back from Thailand without a tan and a nasty neck rash)
Will post up ‘blog’ so all can see what’s on offer.
Im guessing it will be relevant experiance, Previous jobs. any other qualifications, Tacho test and general questions about flexibility shifs etc and all that stuff.
