,Ever wondered who's behind the scenes making sure the shelves are stocked, deliveries land on time, and the wheels (literally) keep turning across the country?
That's us
And we're looking for our next Duty Manager to lead from the front.
If you thrive on fast-paced days, love solving problems before they become problems, and want to lead a team that actually has your back - keep reading.
We're a trusted name in logistics, known for smart, streamlined supply chains and a transport operation that just works. We invest in great technology, even better people, and a culture where your input genuinely shapes how we operate. This isn't a desk job watching the clock it's a hands-on, high-impact role at the heart of our Transport Department.
As Duty Manager, you'll be the engine room of our daily transport operation, planning routes, leading drivers, and making sure every delivery hits its mark, safely and on budget. You'll be the go-to person drivers trust, clients rely on, and your team looks to when things get busy.

- Champion compliance and safety, audits, checks, and quick corrective action
- Think on your feet when the unexpected happens (because in logistics, it always does)

- Track KPIs and report on what's working,and fix what isn't
