Personally find it a good place to work. Busy but that's the job. Good trucks. Just need more forklift drivers at finishing time lol

Passed from pillar to post as with most delivery companies. Spent two days waiting for a delivery which still hasn't turned up. Managers obviously in a meeting (suprise suprise). Only to be told I can only get information from original sender who told me to call delivery company as it's sensitive information. it's wood not nuclear codes 🤔 Some simple tracking numbers and transparency would have saved me a whole lot of wasted time.

Would give zero stars if I could, the delivery driver said he couldn't get an artic into the unit but artics are in daily with no problem sometimes 4 at a time. The driver never even asked at reception just turned round and left. The office staff were quite confrontational about it
