As Despatch Operative, it is your responsibility to ensure our orders are despatched in an accurate and timely manner with minimum damage whilst maintaining a safety-first approach.

Our defining value is to ‘Be the best we can be’; the behaviors that we believe help us to do this and are key to our success are: Aim high, I do what I say, Work Together and Everybody Matters.

'We strive to ensure that all employee's receive the resources they need to succeed, to build a diverse and inclusive organisation that represents our communities and generates the best outcomes for consumers, customers and stakeholders’.
