Its summer now. Quite how a driver is going to know what there xmas arrangements are i’ve no idea.Simple question maybe,but certainley a strange one.

Ok guys am off to Sainsbury’s day shift start at 12.30.Maybe a Litchfield Palletways employee or a DHL worcester employee could answer this one.Have a nice day

There are othr posts here that correctly state that the Boots operation has oved from Worcester to Burton, with DHL still doing the transport.
I do not know what effect this will have on Palletways though.
Currently the operation is in start up.
Hope this (sort of) helps
