Hi Muhammad I would suggest it is a good idea to learn a bit more about CCEP as a business

22 April, 2025 11:03

Hi there, I have applied for Brighton.

22 April, 2025 11:03

it is worth knowing a little about the brands that we have

22 April, 2025 11:03

I have researched this role and checked a YouTube video about a day in the life of a merchandiser at Coco-Cola. A little labour intensive and mutluple meetings too

22 April, 2025 11:04

The stores that you would be calling on are Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, Sainsburys and Co-op. I would visit some of them and have a look at what range and promotions we have. Sounds like you have already made a good start!

22 April, 2025 11:04

That's great to know how soon are interviews to be arranged ? Tax refund — will our payslips already have the correct tax code, or do I need to contact HMRC to correct it, including the uniform tax rebate?

22 April, 2025 11:05

The interviews are planned 1st and 2nd May

22 April, 2025 11:07

Thanks

22 April, 2025 11:07

Hi Muhammad, regarding tax, this would be something you would have to talk directly to HMRC about

22 April, 2025 11:08

Some locations have different hours listed in the job advert. Can you reconfirm the hours for Brighton?

22 April, 2025 11:09

Hi Muhammad, this is 30 hrs per week for brighton

22 April, 2025 11:11

I live 2 hours away from Brighton. Will this be an issue for acceptance for this role? Any hidden perks like discounts?

22 April, 2025 11:11

Hi Muhammad, yes there will be an incentive programme that we are still working on at the moment 😃

re location, you would need to be within a commutable distance from Brighton. We typically look in and around the 30 mile radius due to the nature of the role

22 April, 2025 11:13

I am happy to stay in Brighton for this job role. Any accommodation opportunities or recommended places to stay?

22 April, 2025 11:15

Hi Muhammad, unfortunately neither Nikki or I live in Brighton so I wouldn't be able to comment on recommendations, I would suggest researching online in (and out) of Brighton directly, to see what is the most affordable and convenient options.

22 April, 2025 11:19

In Brighton, is there a staff meeting location, such as an office, or is that in a different city? If so, could you provide the address of your Brighton office? I can then look into hotels nearby.

22 April, 2025 11:20

This is a Field Based Role, so there is no office, the role is located in and around Brighton - there is 25 stores that would be covered :)

22 April, 2025 11:22

I see. Would there be in-person meetings? Like group meetings I would have to attend? I believe this role requires quality checking, stock checking, and stocking up stores. Will I be provided a guideline sheet or checklist, or do I make one from scratch?

22 April, 2025 11:23

Yes, there are likely to be some in person meetings over the time in role. You would be part of one of our merchandiser teams (c10-12 people) so you would attend meetings with them face to face probably around every 6 weeks there will also be virtual team calls every week you would be provided with a phone and an ipad. You will be provided with a brief on what needs to be done and a specific set of questions to answer in each call

22 April, 2025 11:25

The in person meeting in Brighton?

22 April, 2025 11:27

the venue for the meeting may change - the merchandisers in each team cover a wider area than just Brighton so I would expect you would need to travel up to an hour if you wish to attend. it is a good way for you to connect and feel part of the team (and have a bit of fun too). but we try not to make the travel too great for anyone

22 April, 2025 11:28

Thanks for the answers.

22 April, 2025 11:29

No problem - I hope that was helpful!
