hi mate you could manpower/driver hire i think they do royal mail but got to be clear before going in
by the way how is the black city of harwich use to see units parked on roundabouts left 4 yrs ago as there is no work there best of luck tesco do you have passport to go in or green card in for asda
Tesco’s agency is always advertising in The Stamford Mercury. Monarch Personnel 0845 1302323 £8.90-£13.30 according to this weeks advert. Haskins at Manea are advertising for trampers & a mate of mine tramps on 'fridges for DSV at Whittlesey on fairly decent money & is always asking me if I want a job as they can’t get decent trampers. If you want boxes then Wincanton at Alconbury (ex Carters) are taking on too. There’s quite a bit round here,depends what you want. Big advert this week for Fowler Welch at Desborough, tramping & some international it says. Good luck!
Harwich aint changed much bud, same as its always been i guess, working for fieldings at the mo but just had enough of dock work and wouldnt mind a bit of day work or something with about 2 nights away or week, but you know how hard that is to find, all or nothing aint it. Dont the agencies sort that out for you with the supermarkets then?

Taskforce in the town center deal with Tesco. Come through the town when you get to Happy Snaps turn left if your coming from the Cathedral. When you get to Westgate house turn right and follow the road down they are on the left. Unless things have changed you will need to sit a driving and theory test/assessment.
Unless they have lost it Best Connection was in Ikea, they are above the Alliance and Leicester. Stand with your back to Natwest bank and walk straight it will come up on the left. Last October they signed a big contract with DHL paying around £10 for days. ( Per hour not the whole shift )

Try and get a proper job. You’ve got so many hoops to jump through now with agency and it’s not really worth the aggro any more.
The only hoops/aggro you need to worry about, are the initial ones, where they expect you to have a brain/right attitude/right licence~~, after that, its plain sailing…thats if your working for a good one :unamused:~~ ~~I dont want a “proper job”, as they do not pay anywhere near what i get on the agency ~~
who you working for now flip? are you full time employee or agency ?..

Nah, TBH, most agencies have jumped on the CPC bandwagon, and are offering their drivers discounted rates, from what I`ve seen anyway.
Our lot are offering their lads it @ £50ish per session, Ive refused so far, notsure where ill be in 2014, so, I ain`t paying out for something I may not need.

They are down Wentworth Street now, if you know where the old Woolworths building (new TK Maxx is) its down that street, just off Bourges Boulevard). They are ok to work for, I have been round a few and they are the only ones who I decided to go with (eg. they are slightly the better of the rest!)
