About NVD
Founded in 1980 as a family-owned business, NVD UK was established to support vehicle manufacturers by ensuring the timely and incident-free distribution of their products. Over the years, we have become a trusted one-stop solution, delivering all three core pillars of outbound logistics: transporting, storing, and enhancing our customers’ vehicles before final delivery.
Since our inception, NVD UK has led the way in pioneering the digitisation of the Finished Vehicle Logistics (FVL) industry. As early adopters of emerging technologies, we have introduced significant efficiencies that save our customers both time and money. Our commitment to progress, innovation, and continuous service improvement remains central to our business ethos today.
Role Summary
The Vehicle Handler is responsible for the efficient and accurate handling of vehicle stock. Key duties include the thorough checking and dispatch of vehicles, managing the high-volume movement of 60 or more vehicles daily across storage and loading areas, and performing detailed vehicle-specific inspections and stock checks. The role also involves contributing to the general maintenance and upkeep of the vehicle compounds.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
