Is Distribution something that interests you?  
Does working towards getting your Forklift Licence appeal?  
Do you already have Forklift Experience?

As part of our friendly Distribution Team, you will be responsible for picking and scanning finished good to fulfil orders which then get loaded onto haulage.   Also moving produce around the chill area.  Using handheld scanners, you will rotate between building pallets of orders, or being on the forklift, working as a pair.  This is very much a team effort.

Every day is different, and the department has tight knit teams across the shifts. 

Distribution is the last piece of the Kettle jigsaw – building the pallets and getting the fresh produce onto the HGVs ready to go to customer RDCs.
