As Warehouse Manager, you\'ll be at the heart of operations, leading a team of around 14 and ensuring everything runs smoothly—from goods in and dispatch to stock accuracy, yard management, and third-party logistics.

The business is in the middle of a major transformation with warehouse relocation, digital systems replacing paper-based processes, and opportunities to shape the way things are done. If you\'re motivated by challenge, change, and the chance to make your mark, this is the perfect time to come on board.
The successful candidate will manage a small team and report directly to the Senior Leadership Team. You will play a key role in managing, training, motivating, and reinforcing a culture of fairness, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
