• Completing administrative tasks such as maintaining and receipting of stock.
• Restocking and organising our product in the bulk store and stockroom.
• Liaising with internal and external freighting companies to manage inwards and outwards goods.
• Acting as the gatekeeper for stock health across the branch.
• Compliance of health and safety regulations within a transport and stockroom environment.
