Drive your HGV career forwards with Travis Perkins Wickford, one of our flagships stores and within our Top 40 UK branches!

Completing our highly experienced driving team of 4, you'll be our resident 18 tonne HGV class 2 expert, demonstrating exceptional safety, customer service, and motivation.

Crucially, you'll be a safety-minded person, understanding and complying with our comprehensive safety procedures to ensure that you, your colleagues, and your customers will all head home happy at the end of an enjoyable day at work.
