United Worldwide Logistics – Various Sites | Full-time | Competitive Salary + Bonus

Join a fast-growing logistics leader and help drive us to the next level.

United Worldwide Logistics has grown from a family-run operation to a dynamic logistics company with over 70 employees and 3 depots across the UK. We specialise in time-critical transport, including performance vehicle delivery, import / export, and same-day solutions.

We’re now looking for an experienced, driven and hands-onGeneral Manager to work directly alongside the Managing Director as the business continues to scale. This is a rare opportunity to step into a key leadership role with real influence, autonomy, and responsibility across the full operation.

Your Role

As General Manager, you’ll be the MD’s right hand — someone who can be trusted to take initiative, make decisions, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. You’ll :

  • Oversee day-to-day operations across all three depots
  • Manage and support department leads (transport, admin, HR, accounts, customer service)
  • Drive performance, efficiency, and accountability across the business
  • Identify and resolve issues before they land on the MD’s desk
  • Represent the company with key clients, partners, and stakeholders
  • Be across everything — from staffing and customer care to compliance and commercial strategy

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven senior leadership experience in logistics, transport, or a similar fast-paced sector
  • Natural problem solver who thrives under pressure and knows how to lead teams
  • Strong commercial awareness with a hands-on, no-job-too-small attitude
  • Comfortable working closely with the MD but confident making independent decisions
  • Excellent communication, organisation, and multi-tasking skills
  • Strong values, loyalty, and the ability to carry the culture of a family-grown business
  • Why Join Us?

  • A real leadership role with full exposure to every part of a growing business
  • Be part of a company with ambition, energy, and a personal touch
  • Make a tangible difference and shape the next phase of our growth
  • Competitive package with performance-based rewards
  • Ready to lead from the front and help us grow without losing our edge?
