Anybody know about Britvic in Norwich?

[Tant]

Hello all

I am attending for an interview very soon for a job going at Britvic factory in Norwich. Does anybody know anything about this place, or what sort of place Norwich is like to live in?

Cheers

East Anglian forum?

I used to sell stuff to the labs there - got a tour around and was very impressed with the place. In a good location as it's on the outskirts near the county hall and access in and out is good.

I originally come from Naaarfolk and miss Norwich A LOT.

It's got everything (except a decent road network in and out, but superb back road driving), restaurants, pubs, theatres, cinemas, clubs, art, shops and history.

Some of the best beaches in Britain are on the Norfolk coast, plus you have the broads (admittedly only ever once visited on a school trip), and various places of interest.

Direct line to London and Norwich airport is growing that you can go to a fair few places from there.

Er, no I don't work for the Tourist info in case anyone is wondering .........

Agree with above norwich is lovely. Houses arent cheap though.

Norwich is a fantastic city, one of my favourites. Very vibrant and lively...

[randomtom]

love it, just be careful down prince of wales road on a saturday night

[woodytype S]

I agree with what he said.

If you're coming from the south (A146) it's a doddle, you could live in South Lowestoft and be there in less than 30 mins as the A146 is a straight road right up to the turn off for the factory, which shares the site with Unilever.

Norwich itself is lovely, live anywhere surrounding it and i'm sure you'll be happy enough.

Football team's rubbish though.

I concur with Prince of Wales Road thought!

Avoid on a Saturday night at all costs as it is like a war zone. Last time I had the misfortune to walk up it at midnight I thought Norwich was attempting the women's world record for the most "F's C's and W's" to be heard in 200 metres!

Great market and shopping mall!

[iluvmercs]

Norwich....what more can I say about it that hasn't already been mentioned?

It's agot rather Cathedral
I know nothing about Britvic, I'm afraid.
If you're looking for somewhere to live, steer clear of the Larkman and Marelpit estates!
Good night life, LOTS of pubs dotted all around the city - be sure to search around wherever you end up living Plenty of shopping choices, and I certainly agree on the comment about the roads - brilliant back roads!

Good luck with your interview!

good luck with the job I work there,you will need an economical car to travel from there,but if you are not botherd about cost driving at 5am/6am 9pm/10pm should be good to let rip but you will get boged down in trafic a 6am when your opend up to work 12hr shifts which is all the time.tell them at the interviw that you have had some experiance macking plastic bottles they will buy it and you will get the job good luck.;)
