About the Company:
Our client is a small but fast-growing food manufacturing business with a strong focus on quality, safety, and continuous improvement. Operating across a production site and multi-temperature warehousing (chilled, freezer, and dry goods), they are expanding quickly and looking for the right person to help shape the future of their warehouse and logistics function. This is a hands-on environment where teamwork, reliability, and strong processes are valued. An immediate start is preferred.

- Overseeing warehouse operations across chilled, frozen, and dry goods
- Leading and developing a small warehouse team
- Managing inventory, pallet control, and stock accuracy
- Coordinating inwards/outwards goods and supporting production
