What We're Looking For:

We're looking for someone who is naturally organised, practical and enjoys working in a busy environment. You don't need to have experience in every part of the role, but you'll ideally bring some experience from a logistics, dispatch, manufacturing or warehouse setting.

You'll be confident using computer systems, comfortable dealing with different people throughout the day and have a good eye for detail. Experience with SAP or another stock/ERP system would be useful.

The role also has a hands‑on element, so you'll need to be happy getting involved on the operational side rather than being purely office-based. Experience with deliveries, transport companies, stock or quality checks would be a bonus.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone reliable, proactive and willing to get stuck in.
