Transfer to the Coventry area any info please :)

Post by Caniel »

I asked about this before and from reading other transfer threads it seems that the best option is to ask at the offices I want to go to. With that in mind I'm going up to Coventry for a few days soon so intend to ask around. I would greatly appreciate any info such as addresses of offices and their phone numbers anyone might have of delivery offices in Coventry and the surrounding area I could ask at.

Last I heard the MC in Coventry was binned or being binned, does that mean that there are smaller delivery offices scattered round Coventry now or are deliveries still based in the MC for the time being? Also someone mentioned Lemington Spar as an option being that it's not too far away. Are there any other similar offices near Coventry like Lemington Spar? I'm prepared to travel to work, just as long as it's not miles and miles etc

Does anyone know what my chances are realistically? We've had people transfer in and out of my office on deliveries a lot recently. One guy transferred in, transferred back again then in again over the space of 3 years :shock: . I can drive, I'm on full time permanent deliveries and obviously would like to remain so but would be prepared to take a drop in hours in order to move. I wouldn't want to end up on some 3 month rolling contract though.

Thanks in advance :)

Warwick and Leamington keep appearing on the jobs website and keep 'loaning' nearby staff. As they are using P&L I presume they would love the help :left:
As for Coventry, there is Cov North and South D.O. Nuneaton and Hinkley are not too far are either, within 10mins from Cov
