to cover maternity leave. This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident leader with strong management experience to take ownership of warehouse operations and ensure the continued delivery of exceptional service to our business units and customers.

As Warehouse Manager, you'll oversee the daily running of the warehouse and lead a skilled team to deliver efficient, compliant, and cost-effective support to the wider business. You'll manage resources, coordinate logistics, and maintain operational standards in line with company policies and statutory requirements (HSE and GDPR).
