We're partnering with a fast-growing and highly respected food storage and distribution business that continues to invest heavily in its people, facilities, and operational excellence.
Supplying a wide range of food and drink products to customers across the foodservice sector, the business has experienced significant growth over recent years and is now looking to appoint an experienced Warehouse Manager to lead its critical night operation.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business where you'll have genuine autonomy, the ability to influence operational performance, and the chance to grow your career as the company continues its exciting expansion journey.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Operations Director, you'll take full responsibility for the night warehouse operation, ensuring customer orders are picked, packed, and prepared accurately for next-day delivery.
Leading a team of approximately 16–17 warehouse colleagues, including Team Leaders, you'll oversee operations across ambient, chilled, and frozen environments, creating a positive, high-performing culture where safety, accuracy, and productivity are always at the forefront.
This isn't a role for someone who simply maintains the status quo. We're looking for a proactive leader who enjoys improving processes, developing people, and driving operational excellence.
