Driver / Warehouse Assistant

We bring paddock and plate even closer together!

We specialise in bringing together the food service industry and quality fresh produce straight from the growers and we’re well known for our value-add foods. We’re ‘the little big guys’ - large enough to reliably supply and distribute across New Zealand, yet small enough to be flexible and nimble in delivering ‘hands on’ service and innovative custom solutions.

Fresh Connection operates six business units in three locations throughout New Zealand. We are a 24/7 business and operate across the wholesale distribution and food processing environments.
