WORK EXPERIENCE

HGV Driver

AO.com – Crewe – March 2022 to present

Driving articulated Class 1 vehicles from our Crewe Depot to warehouses and depots

across the UK. I carry out daily vehicle safety checks on my HGV and trailer and

liaise with planners. Communication in this role is important as there is specific drop

off and pick up slots so that the goods can be delivered in time. As part of my job I

also shunt trailers across our three sites in Crewe, ensuring they are at the correct

loading bays in time for my warehouse colleagues to load the trailers ready for

dispatch. In this role I show excellent yard management, communication and team

work to ensure the job is carried out to the highest standard. In my time at AO.com, I

was entrusted to train new colleagues within the first three months of my contract. I

also created training videos which were sent out across our depot to help refresh and

train my colleagues.

In this position I showed both good time keeping and customer service. This job

allowed me to develop skills of self-management and problem solving as the work

involved a good deal of customer liaison and an element of decision-making in

resolving problems.

Ocado is the largest online groceries supermarket in the country.

This role involved working in a freezer and a chilled area, packing food products for

me how the company works together.

products.

The work involved the calculation and applying of interest to customer accounts, also

my teens I am keen to return to this at some stage. I have played golf since I was nine

years old with my grandad, I have been a member of multiple golf clubs and have also

played with my grandad in America. In my spare time I enjoy the driving range and

try to get to the courses in my local area as often as the weather allows.
