Warehouse

Stores Distribution Centre (SDC) 

At SDC we are the only warehouse that delivers directly to all of our 229 stores in the UK. The culture at SDC is built on our 5 Winning Behaviours (Winning, Be At Your Best, Authentic, Can Do Spirit and Humility). 


We aim to  empower every colleague to adopt these behaviours and treat every day like it’s their first in the business regardless of how long they’ve been with the company. 


Promoting from within is what we are passionate about, so colleagues who have a willingness to learn and the self drive to succeed is vitally important to both the business and our teams.

Warehouse

There are several areas within our warehouse teams that enable us to get the right products to the right places. We have Pickers, Loaders, Tippers, Recycling, Putaways and Replenishing teams. Each colleague is required to drive Material Handling Equipment (MHE’s) to perform their daily tasks. Picking duties involve some heavy lifting but colleagues are rotated around to ensure they get a good mix of lighter and heavier products.

Clerical

Clerical functions are key to the warehouse running smoothly, duties include booking goods inbound and ensuring the outbound operation is kept up to date with a constant and even flow of work.
