Delivery Driver - Huntingdon - ref. l17198915
At Dreams, we know your bed is the best place in the whole world. But for the hours between precious sleep, we`d like to make work a special place to be too. We`re the UK`s most loved bed retailer, so it`s important our people feel the love as well.
Together we`ve been making bedtimes better since 1985, with no signs of hitting the snooze button. We`re owned by the world`s largest bedding provider, Tempur Sealy, with over 200 stores, 6 central warehouses and 12 delivery centres nationwide.
You`ll join our expert team who deliver 14,000 mattresses, bases and headboards every single week. Now that`s a lot of Zzzs. So if you`re bonkers about bed, silly for siestas and keen on your kip, we think Dreams could be the perfect place for you.
Dreams. Love your job.
