Adrian has explained better but it literally is, hence the severe shortage of people willing to do it or current roles growing and progressing into new roles (HGV jobs for example). Greggs pay more than Go North East, most fast food places do. Which probably explains the attrition rate in driving at the moment.

It’s not a intended as a knock but £25k (for the North East) is a pretty decent wage when the average primary school teacher in the region is on £25.5k (dread to think the level of debt they rack up to get that versus a relatively cheap £2k training cost)
