1Question

Tell me about a time when you had to adapt your delivery schedule due to unexpected circumstances

During a particularly busy Christmas period, I encountered a major road closure on the M62 that would have delayed deliveries to 12 stores by over 3 hours. I immediately contacted dispatch and used my local knowledge to plan an alternative route through A-roads. I also called ahead to the affected stores to inform them of the revised delivery times. By taking initiative and communicating proactively, I managed to complete all deliveries within 45 minutes of the original schedule, ensuring stores had their stock for the busy shopping period.
2Question

Describe a situation where you provided excellent customer service during a delivery

While delivering to a small One Stop store in rural Yorkshire, I noticed the store manager seemed stressed about a promotional display that needed urgent setup. Although it wasn't part of my delivery duties, I offered to help move the heavy promotional materials from the stockroom. I spent an extra 20 minutes assisting with the display setup, which helped the store launch their promotion on time. The manager was so grateful that they sent positive feedback to my depot manager, highlighting how this support helped them achieve a 25% sales increase that week.
