Skelmersdale, UK: Oakland International is recruiting HGV drivers and transport staff for its newly opened depot in Skelmersdale.
Oakland International needs fifteen HGV Class 1 drivers as well as to fill several transport and office-based staff roles.
Lynne Pearson, transport manager, said, “Operations with Skelmersdale will initially undertake chilled distribution before expanding to become a cross-dock facility with the added potential of offering chilled storage once operations are fully in place.”
A proactive employer Oakland International is encouraging more woman to think about a career in the supply chain. “Oakland has women drivers and transport staff at our other locations, and we aim to replicate this at Skelmersdale and ultimately, we want a workforce that mirrors the labour market,” Pearson said.
