Lead. Improve. Grow.
Are you an experienced Logistics Manager looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference?
Can you answer this question?
Your depot is missing its delivery KPIs, overtime has increased, absence is affecting resource levels and customer complaints have risen. You have 30 days to improve performance. What would you do?

- Managing the depot budget, monitoring performance and taking action to improve profitability.
- Building strong relationships with customers, suppliers and internal stakeholders, ensuring exceptional service.
- Using data and operational insight to challenge the way we work and continually improve.
- Setting clear expectations, coaching your team and developing future talent.
- Working with senior leaders and other functions to support business growth and new projects.

- Excellent knowledge of health & safety and logistics compliance.
- Strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
- Confidence working with customers, suppliers and senior stakeholders.
- A “can-do” attitude and a genuine desire to improve standards. This is a hands on role - leading from the front.
