About Savona
Savona is a leading independent foodservice wholesaler with over 50 years of experience supplying chefs, caterers, and hospitality professionals across the South of England. What truly sets us apart isn’t just our products – it’s our people, our culture, and our customer-first mindset.
We’re a business built on relationships. Every order, every delivery, every conversation is driven by one simple value: put the customer at the heart of everything we do. Our team takes pride in going the extra mile – anticipating needs, solving problems, and delivering a service experience that is personal, reliable, and refreshingly genuine.
We work fast, stay flexible, and think differently. As an independent company, we have the freedom to innovate, to act quickly, and to put doing the right thing above all else. Collaboration and integrity guide how we work – with our customers, our partners, and each other.
At Savona, you’ll join a team that values initiative, celebrates fresh ideas, and supports each other to grow. We’re passionate about food, serious about service, and proud of the reputation we’ve built.
Due to rapid growth in London, we are currently looking for a Forklift Driver to join our day shift, working from 6am to 3pm Monday to Friday. The role primarily consists of checking, offloading and putting away deliveries in the depot. There will also be general warehouse maintenance tasks, order picking and use of the fork trucks. The role involves heavy lifting and requires working at speed with accuracy. A good standard of English is needed to deal with delivery documents and purchase orders. This role requires confidence using scanners, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to work independently. You will be working at multi temperatures including Chilled, Frozen and Ambient.
A flexi truck or Reach license is essential for this role.
Savona Foodservice maintains large warehouses at every depot to accommodate a diverse array of products, including food. Prior to visiting any of our depots, please contact us if you have any food product intolerances.
