hi lads,
the depot is at the bottom of shrewsbury avenue its the old greeting card group warehouse on the left hand side just look out for the invisible sign they have outside,also would be wary if u have no email with u contract on or u security pass, as all over the uk people have been starting work without these an either getting turned away or not being paid for work they do!and also watch out for some major jobsworths there gd luck lads

I didnt get an email, got a text and then went and logged on to get a copy of the email. No attachments tho, surely the ID will be given when we pitch up? The email (on the application website) does say 5th Dec and a location so hopefully everything will b ok. I may swing by on Friday to see what the craic is.
