Looking for a leadership role where coordination and quality matter just as much as pace?

- Leading and developing a warehouse picking team
- Coordinating dispatch with production teams
- Maintaining food safety and quality standards
- Monitoring performance and stock integrity
- Experience in warehouse or manufacturing environments
- Strong organisational and leadership skills
