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 on 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.
