Talent Guardian is recruiting on behalf of a growing consolidator and distributor of fine food, drink and fresh produce, supplying the independent retail and foodservice sectors.
Everything they supply is consolidated and distributed from a purpose-built Distribution Centre in Redditch, ensuring it meets their strict quality standards. Due to continued growth, they're looking for a part-time Packhouse Operative to join the team.

- Computer literacy for stock management data maintenance
- High standards of personal and food hygiene, and a 'clean as you go' approach
