ArrowXL: Transport Manager Opportunity in Wigan
ArrowXL are the UK’s leading provider of two-person home delivery, striving to make the world of delivery a better place by building a business that supports the way we live today. Most of our work is taking responsibility for storing and delivering large, heavy, bulky items – the kind of work that typically needs two people to handle. Quite often these items need to be installed, which we do too.
ArrowXL are excited to announce that we’re now recruiting for a Transport Manager for our Wigan Depot.
Managing your teams, you will hold overall responsibility for the smooth operation of our Transport and Service Delivery functions, ensuring our customers receive the best quality service.

Reporting into the site General Manager, you will also be accountable for;
- Leading, guiding and motivating your team of skilled Shift Managers, First Line Managers and service delivery crews
- Manage the Transport Function at Wigan (main hub) and northern out-bases.
- Efficient fleet utilisation, resource planning and cost control (whilst always ensuring the operation is both effective and compliant)
- Take the lead and be the site expert for legal compliance and safety, ensuring your sites consistently operate safely and legally
- Identify opportunities for improved efficiencies within the Transport function, recommending and implementing changes where needed and sharing best practices across our network of hubs
