Tesco is offering a £1,000 joining bonus to lorry drivers who join the company before the end of September amid staffing pressures on the UK’s supermarkets.
As mentioned by Stalker before, there is currently a mega shortage of HGV drivers in the UK, mostly due to a Brexit exodus of European drivers.
The payment which applies to new starters who join from July 14th until September 30th, appears on various adverts for HGV drivers roles o the food retailing giant’s website.
A ‘perfect storm’ of aggravating factors was blamed for the situation, including self-isolating workers and prior staff shortages.
