About the Role

Planet Recruitment are delighted to be recruiting on behalf of our client for a reliable, professional and enthusiastic Display Distribution Operative to join their established team.

Our client operates an extensive network of promotional display stands in high-footfall locations, including railway stations, park & rides, hotels, shopping centres, theatres and coffee shops.

Their network covers Oxford, Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Worcestershire.

The successful candidate will take responsibility for managing and maintaining their own established network of displays, ensuring that promotional brochures and leaflets are regularly replenished, organised and presented to a high standard.

This is much more than simply a driving role. We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys meeting people and is confident representing the business while visiting its network of clients and venues.

Key Responsibilities

Managing and maintaining an established network of promotional display stands across designated routes.

Visiting various locations to replenish and replace brochures, leaflets and other printed promotional materials.

Ensuring all displays remain clean, tidy, well-stocked and professionally presented.

Building and maintaining positive working relationships with venue managers and staff.

Planning and managing daily routes efficiently to ensure all locations are serviced.

Loading, unloading and transporting boxes of printed materials.

Monitoring stock levels and ensuring the correct promotional materials are distributed.

Acting as a friendly and professional representative of the company when visiting clients.

Taking ownership of assigned locations and ensuring consistently high standards of service.

Candidate Requirements

Full, valid UK driving licence - essential.

Fluent spoken English with excellent communication skills.

Confident and safe driver, comfortable travelling between multiple locations.

Physically fit and capable of lifting and carrying boxes of printed materials.

Friendly, approachable and professional manner.

Comfortable working in a client-facing environment.

Excellent time management and organisational skills.

Reliable, punctual and able to work independently.

Strong attention to detail and pride in maintaining high standards.

Positive attitude and willingness to learn.

Previous experience in distribution, merchandising, field-based services or customer-facing roles would be advantageous but is not essential, as full training will be provided.

£25,350 per annum

37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday

Company van provided

Company mobile phone

Full training and ongoing support

20 days' annual leave plus bank holidays

Company pension scheme

Established routes and regular locations

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being out on the road, working independently and building relationships with people.

Unlike a traditional delivery driving position, this role offers the opportunity to take ownership of an established network of display locations, develop strong relationships with venue partners and play an important part in maintaining the company's professional reputation.

If you are a confident driver with a friendly personality, strong work ethic and a pride in delivering excellent service, we would love to hear from you.
