Van Driver - Mettex - Stoke-on-Trent

(2022-01 - 2026-01)

I was responsible for delivering tools and equipment across the region in a company van, ensuring every delivery was completed safely, accurately and on time. I regularly handed multi-drop routes and often worked long days and long distances wile maintaining strong focus and professionalism. I carried out daily vehicle checks, reported any defects, and kept the vehicle in a safe, roadworthy condition.

Delivery Driver - Hermes - Crewe

(2018-01 - 2022-01)

My duties include loading and unloading parcels using correct manual-handling technique, providing friendly customer service, planning efficient routes with sat-nav systems, and keeping accurate delivery records. I worked independently throughout the day, solving problems such as traffic delays or customer changes, and consistently demonstrated reliability, punctuality, and a strong work ethic.

Van Driver - Valleywood Care Ltd. - Crewe

(2014-01 - 2018-01)

I worked as a van driver for a care company, transporting clients safely to appointments, day trips, and social activities. This role required patience, responsibility, and excellent communication, as I supported vulnerable individuals and ensured their comfort throughout each journey. I carried out daily vehicle checks, planned routes, and maintained a calm, professional manner at all times.

I regularly worked long days and adapted to changing schedules, demonstrating reliability, strong road awareness, and a caring approach while representing the organisation in the community.
