Stock replenishment

Dealing with deliveries, ( which can include manual heavy lifting),

General housework to ensure the shop always looks in good order.

We also operate a mail order service, Click & Collect service and a Whisky Auction and some training on these areas will be provided.

Other key attributes include-

flexibility (we trade seven days per week)

Confidence

Reliability, (timekeeping)
