Richard James Montgomery
Managing Director
I joined the team in 1997 and have done every job in the business. My role now covers financial planning and monitoring, vehicle acquisition and infrastructure growth.
Transport Team
I’ve been on the Mitchells team since 2016. I wanted to work here because I liked that it’s a family-run business that looks after their staff and customers. Now, I enjoy working alongside a great bunch of people that work excellently in a team.
Depending on what shift you’re doing that week, depends on the tasks you will do each day, however all the team helps out if one job is busier than another. Teamwork is a skill we use a lot here. Some typical jobs I do are booking deliveries, dealing with return pallets, estimating arrival times and generally making sure deliveries are out when they should be. There’s a lot to do in this job to ensure everything runs smoothly on, and all jobs must be completed before the day
ends. This is where having a good group helps.
As part of my goals for my career progression at Mitchells, I’d love to do collections, making sure that all collections are assigned to drivers and picked up on the due date. It’s a hard but rewarding job that I would love to master. I also want to learn how to drive a forklift to be able to help downstairs when things get busy. I have done both Customer Services and Transport now, adding more strings to my bow in general is a long-term goal of mine. I would love to have experience in all departments.
In my free time, I like being outdoors, going for walks and catching up with friends. I like having days out with my family, going to watch football or going to the Zoo. I also enjoy going out with everyone at work for a well-deserved night out, even a snooker night down at the local.
