Edward’s Story

I joined the Partnership on the 8th of September 2020 as a Customer Delivery Driver. Prior to that I had briefly worked in the Partnership as a Christmas temp at the Waitrose in Canary Wharf.

I initially applied because I wanted a change in career when it comes to being a delivery driver as I had previously worked as a courier/delivery driver for other reputable companies. Whilst browsing for jobs on the internet I browsed the JLP careers website & came across the customer delivery driver role.

I love what I do as I get to see different areas & meet different people. It’s also nice to have a chat with my customers whilst on the job.

I obtained my HGV licence entitlement through the Partnership’s Apprenticeship Scheme & although I love being a delivery driver I hope to be behind the wheel of the HGV’s again someday in order for my career to progress.

There are several benefits to working for the Partnership. Some of my favourites are the staff discount card, the on site Partner Shop (where I work) & our Partner Choice benefits website!

Back in 2020 I worked with a colleague who had the opportunity to be part of a photoshoot. I was always enquiring as to how she got into it. I always saw her picture at every branch around the country that I’d go into so when I saw the advert for the photoshoot I quickly applied.

I’m happy & grateful that I was chosen & I look forward to seeing myself & the other Partners’ photos around stores/in magazines/on the JLP website once they’re published. It was a great opportunity & I met an amazing set of people on the day. I would definitely do it again & would highly recommend anyone who’s thinking of doing it to just go for it.
