Build and maintain strong partnerships with external warehouse and delivery providers.
Identify and implement improvements to key logistics processes for greater efficiency and performance.

Naturally proactive, with a proven track record of delivering strong results through optimisations.
A true team player who motivates and engages employees in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
