03 - Life at CTS

Where no two days
are the same.

We’re proud to be CTS. In a workplace where no day is ever the same, our teams pull together to deliver the highest standards of service to some of the world’s most demanding customers. As a medium-sized business, our teams boast impressive capability while ensuring you feel welcome, are encouraged to ask questions and be heard.

There’s a sense of adventure that you don’t get in all jobs. I drive a 44T truck across the UK and Europe and have delivered to some truly unique locations with breathtaking scenery on the way. The support and camaraderie is brilliant - the team ensure I have everything I need and regularly check in to offer any help or advice needed.

A DAY IN THE LIFE / 01

Our drivers

“I’m glad I get the opportunity to travel to many sites across the UK, Ireland and in Europe.”

Our drivers are the backbone of our business, meeting strict safety and security requirements for the delivery of specialist freight to secure locations across the UK and Europe. We also work onsite at secure locations in the UK, making regular deliveries between sites and handling confidential information.

Whether you’re a van driver, completely new to commercial vehicles or an experienced Class 1 (C&E) HGV driver - we want to hear from you, and will provide full training to help you grow.

A DAY IN THE LIFE / 02

Logistics & Distribution Operatives

“Since joining CTS, I’ve received detailed dangerous goods training, learned to operate a forklift and passed the Digital National X-Ray Competency Test (DNXCT). The team really want you to succeed.”

Our Logistics and Distribution Operatives work in our secure warehousing and on the road to ensure the highest standards of service when receiving, storing and distributing high-consequence goods and confidential material.

All of our operatives receive detailed dangerous goods, security and radioactive safety training, complemented by valuable certification in the regulated screening of airfreight and trusted status at our clients’ locations.

A DAY IN THE LIFE / 03

Our Operations team

“No two days are the same and we are always learning from each other. The variety means I am never bored!”

Our Operations team support our Operatives with the high level of planning, preparation and assistance needed to ensure that we can move the most dangerous, delicate and difficult items with 100% compliance, every time.

Supported by our wider office-based teams, their specialisms include the efficient operation of our fleet, route and schedule planning, global forwarding, health and safety and more.
