Company description: GXO Logistics Supply Chain Inc.

Ive also completed my IOSH Health & Safety qualification and Transport Managers qualification too Its not a Monday to Friday 9-5 gig but if you work hard, youll get the enjoyment and job satisfaction. Its super-fast paced which wont suit everyone but quick thinking, problem solving and looking at better, more proactive ways of working is always a good challenge to have. Ive moved to a different area of the country every 8 months.
