At Williams & Yates it's not what we do it's how we do it, we like to do things differently and to make that happen our people need to be a little bit different too. We are 100% focused on giving exceptional customer service and your job is to deliver this.

A typical day
Checking with the client which items are to be moved.
Taking apart large items of furniture for packing and removal.
Packing items, loading them into the vehicle and securing them safely.
Driving to the new location, unloading belongings and placing them where client wants them.
Regular driving within Europe including nights away
Dealing with border formalities in/out of UK and in/out of EU countries
Wherever there are houses, there are people that need moving, many of our moves are in London, however you may find yourself driving across the UK and even into Europe.
You're never at the same place for more than a day; you will always be going different places and seeing different things.
You'll need to manage your time to get your work done each day to achieve your performance bonus and you will get all the support you need for trickier jobs.

A good level of fitness.
The ability to work out the most effective way to load items.
Good time-keeping.
Full UK driving licence HGV Cat C or Cat C+E and excellent driving skills.
Flexible approach to solving problems that may arise
Opportunities and Benefits:
One of the biggest benefits you'll get is the satisfaction and sense of achievement of moving the entire content of one property and delivering it to another. The appreciation that you will get from the client after they have received our exceptional customer service and leaving positive feedback and reviews about the great job that you have done and the difference it has
