Taiko, the UK's leading sushi and prepared meals manufacturer, is seeking a Warehouse Supervisor to lead our warehouse team at Acton. You will drive performance, uphold safety, and ensure on-time materials flow to production.

You will own the full warehouse operation from staffing and training to daily performance, maintain strict quality controls, and collaborate with Purchasing to resolve issues. We value hands-on leaders who communicate clearly and own outcomes.

• Make sure all tasks are completed on time, every time – no errors.
• Own the full warehouse operation – from staffing and training to daily performance.

• Double-check materials, packaging and labels are 100% correct (details matter here).
• Spot and report errors, stock shortages, or issues before they become problems.
• Keep production flowing by delivering the right materials, in the right volumes.
• Work closely with Purchasing and management to flag and fix any issues.
• Step in to support stock transfers when needed.
• Keep everything clean, organised and audit-ready (warehouse, chillers, freezers).

• Own traceability (Navision) and make sure processes are followed properly.
• Support stocktakes and investigate any discrepancies.
