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.

Savona Foodservice maintains large warehouses at every depot to accommodate a diverse array of food items. Prior to visiting any of our depots, please contact us if you have any food product intolerances.

Job Description

You’ll be part of a close-knit team of multidrop drivers who work together to get the job done. This isn’t a lonely, long-distance driving role. You’ll be delivering great food and other catering products to a huge range of customers across the region. Once there, you’ll be delivering the goods straight to the chefs and managers who make the orders. You’ll also be the one transferring the goods from your lorry to the customer – on cages, pallets or by sack truck. Some orders can be very large and time consuming, so it’s a job with a real physical element.

We are looking for someone who is efficient and organised; you need to enjoy the challenge of being given a lorry full of goods and getting it to the right people at the right time. Personality is key. You’ll interact with the customers at every drop off – so you’ll need to be sociable, polite and respectful, even when under time pressure.

Qualifications-wise, you need a category C1 HGV License or above. You’ll also have your digital tachograph driver card and your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC). We’ll pay for ongoing CPC development to help you keep these qualifications up to date and provide you with free uniform to maintain professionalism at all times.
