Truck Drivers – LGV2

Here at Minoli we are looking for another person to join the Minoli Delivery Team. This particular position is for a qualified LGV2 Driver, so for this role the licence is a requirement. If you haven’t got the LGV2 licence, check back on our ‘Join The Team’ page as we may have other vacancies to fill, such as a non LGV delivery driver in a van.

In times of economic uncertainty, why not join a company with firm foundations. Minoli have been operating successfully as one of the UK’s leading tile suppliers for 65 years, with many longstanding team members who have developed their careers within the business.

As Truck Driver jobs go, we reckon this is a good one, so there’s no need for us to try and dress this up. This is a straightforward, uncomplicated driving job, with regular hours, no overnights or even late nights expected, working in a company that’s small enough to care but big enough to be stable and well known in the industry and throughout Oxfordshire.

Our fleet, delivery capabilities and driver team were featured in DAF Driver Magazine, and you can read more about our business and state-of-the-art trucks.

About the Company

Established in 1960, Minoli is one of the UK’s original tile importers and distributors. Our goal is simply to source and supply the most beautiful indoor and outdoor porcelain tiles, and to offer our customers a level of service that’s considered second to none.

Whilst many of our values remain true to those on which the firm was founded, we’re forward thinking and focused on continued growth in terms of our expanding product portfolio, our premises and facilities, our vehicle fleet and the size of our team.

We are headquartered in Cowley, Oxford, also with showrooms in Marylebone, London. We work predominantly throughout southern England and the Home Counties, but also distribute across the UK and internationally. As such, our business is not solely dependent on the local economy, and we enjoy working with a diverse set of corporate clients, private homeowners and reseller partners.

About the Culture

Minoli remains an independent, family‑run business with Jonathon Minoli leading the company as Managing Director. With over 40 colleagues across our Oxford and London operations, the length of service and low staff turnover is testament to the company culture and strong ‘one team’ ethic that thrives throughout the business.

In line with the diversity of our client base, we also place great value on the diversity of our team. We recognise that having a diverse workforce is good for business, good for company culture and that different points of view help fuel innovation and improvement in our ways of working.

We’re an equal opportunity employer, which means we’ll consider all suitably qualified applicants regardless of gender, ethnicity, nationality, beliefs, age, disability status or any other characteristic.

We recruit and develop our people based on merit and their passion for delivering a great Minoli experience, for clients and colleagues alike, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
