Salary: £26,227.50 per annum

Why This Role Stands Out
This is an excellent opportunity to join a stable, well-established and growing business with a friendly on-site team of around 20 people. The role offers a balanced mix of warehouse work and local deliveries, ideal for someone who enjoys variety, autonomy, and being part of a close-knit operation.
