Simon - if you register with Indeed jobsite and specify driving jobs you'll get regular emails with possible opportunities. Some don't require you to have a van or insurance, you just use theirs. There's a guy in our place that has 10 or 12 guys working for him. Most are used to cover other drivers when they're absent. Won't earn as much as if you had your own van but then you don't have the outlay or the risk.

Sorry 'bout the redundancy Si. You'll bounce back, and with the refreshingly open attitude that "a job is a job" I'm sure it'll be sooner than soon.

That's really disappointing news Si. I'm sure you will find something as job hunting is all about attitude and a bit of a thick skin. Good luck🤞🤞

Like I said over Whatsapp, sorry to hear that mate. Happening to a lot of people lately, one of our receptionist has just been made redundant. Is it worth applying to a few bike garages if you enjoy the mechanical work?

Only qualified in suspension work, they don't want to take someone on just for that.

Sorry to hear the news Si, but as others have said as you want to work, you'll have a better chance than most.
Good luck mate. :ymhug:
