Aperçu — adapté à Tesco
Dear Hiring Manager,
Booker's role as the UK's leading food and drink wholesaler — supplying over 190 cash-and-carry branches and independent retailers nationwide — is exactly the environment where my HGV driving experience is best applied. I hold a valid Class 1 licence and current Driver CPC, and have completed multi-drop routes servicing up to 20 independent retail stops per shift, including handball deliveries of chilled and ambient product.
My background in food distribution includes 3 years operating temperature-controlled vehicles on rotating shift patterns across West Yorkshire, consistently meeting delivery windows while maintaining full tachograph compliance. I am comfortable adapting routes at short notice and have regularly worked in outdoor and adverse weather conditions without compromising delivery accuracy or customer service standards.
