About the role
We are looking for a practical, organised, and dependable Warehouse operative to support the day-to-day operation of our warehouse and production facility.

- Report equipment, stock, or production issues promptly.
- Suggest practical improvements to warehouse and production processes.
- Provide occasional support at the company’s smallholding in Bedfield during quieter periods when required.
