Lead the Team That Keeps Our Business Moving
At Banham Poultry, every order matters. We're looking for an experienced Despatch Manager to lead our busy warehouse and despatch operation, ensuring our products reach customers safely, accurately, and on time.
This is more than managing stock and schedules. We're looking for someone who enjoys leading people, solving problems, and creating a positive, high-performing working environment. You'll be the kind of leader who isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves, support your team, and drive continuous improvement every day.
If you thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoy making a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
As our Despatch Manager, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day operation of the Despatch department, ensuring products are picked, loaded, and dispatched safely, efficiently, and accurately.
Working closely with Production, Planning, Transport, and other departments, you'll make sure customer orders leave site on time while maintaining the highest standards of food safety, quality, and health & safety.
