BOTH Heage Road Vehicle Services, or HRVS, and the Lockwood Group are looking forward to welcoming visitors at the Derby Telegraph Job Fair.
And they say, with various vacancies available across the sites – from administrative roles to warehouse operatives – there will be something to suit everyone.
HRVS provides top-class customer service and after-sales support for trucks, trailers, buses and coaches – and are well-known throughout the industry by all-makes fleets operating a mixture of MAN, Renault, Isuzu, Scania, Mercedes-Benz, DAF, and Volvo vehicles.
Its all-make commercial vehicle dealerships are its speciality, along with HRVS being one of the UK's largest MAN truck dealerships.
With five sites across the Midlands and North East areas, the head office is based in Ripley, meaning a large majority of its current staff are from Derbyshire.
Currently, HRVS is looking to recruit trainee administrative assistants and administrative assistants for its offices. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to be part of a busy, friendly team and build a solid skill-set within administration.
Duties will encompass a variety of tasks to support the service manager and service team, including data inputting, filing, answering telephone queries and other general office duties.
The successful applicant will be required to be positive, reliable and flexible with a "can-do" approach.
Lockwood is also looking to recruit HGV drivers across various areas – offering very competitive packages and fantastic training opportunities to the right person.
Lockwood Haulage can trace its beginnings back to 1965, when the associated frozen-food business Lockwoods Ltd purchased a number of vehicles to deliver its frozen mushy peas. Nearly 50 years later, Lockwood Haulage operates a large fleet of approximately 75 modern vehicles – ranging from 17-tonne curtain-sided vehicles to 44-tonne articulated units.
Its fleet of 105 trailers includes flatbeds, curtain siders, sliding roofs and double-decker trailers.
All vehicles are tracked and monitored by GPS and all drivers are equipped with mobile phones and smart, modern uniforms.
Lockwood also operates warehousing within its Derbyshire headquarters and a number of vacancies have emerged through the group.
These include class-one shunter drivers and warehouse operatives with forklift truck counterbalance licences – working both day and night shifts.
With the business always looking to take on new staff, there are a wealth of vacancies throughout both areas of the organisation – with more details available on the day.
HRVS and the Lockwood Group are looking forward to talking to people about new and exciting opportunities to work for them – so find them on the day to see if you could be one of their new recruits.
