Stores Distribution Centre (SDC)
At SDC we are the only warehouse that delivers directly to all of our 229 stores in the UK. The culture at SDC is built on our 5 Winning Behaviours (Winning, Be At Your Best, Authentic, Can Do Spirit and Humility).
We aim to empower every colleague to adopt these behaviours and treat every day like it’s their first in the business regardless of how long they’ve been with the company.
Promoting from within is what we are passionate about, so colleagues who have a willingness to learn and the self drive to succeed is vitally important to both the business and our teams.
