We’re building a larger team in Biggleswade
Biggleswade distribution centre has been up and running since June 2022 and it's the biggest, most sustainable and environmentally friendly depot in the Co-op network.
And we're now in the process of bringing more warehouse operatives and drivers on board to support with extra volume we're bringing into the Biggleswade site this year - which is really exciting!
At Co-op you’ll do work that matters, and you’ll be rewarded for your hard work with a competitive salary (including additional shift allowances) and a benefits package which includes holidays starting from 31 days per year (including bank holidays), 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores, a pension with up to 10% employer contributions, plus:
- Wagestream – a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it
- Free employee assistance programme with extensive health, financial and wellbeing support
- Access to credit unions for loans and savings, plus rental deposit loans and season ticket loans
- Free eye tests every 2 years
- On-site facilities including a subsidised canteen and free parking
- A subsidized transport service with local pick-ups and on-site drop offs from Stevenage - Biggleswade

About Biggleswade depot
Standing at 660,000 square feet, Biggleswade is the biggest distribution centre in our Co-op logistics network. Along with improving service and availability to our existing stores, it also supports our ambitious growth plans across London, the South and the South East.
From the sustainability of the design to the colleague experience, we've taken inspiration from our support centre in Manchester and other Co-op buildings to make Biggleswade a state-of-the-art environment that our 1000+ colleagues can be proud of.
