With ambitious plans to scale to a £50 million business within the next three years, this is a pivotal time to join the company and play a key role in shaping the future of the operation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Ensure customer orders are fulfilled accurately and on time, including both next-day dispatch products and bespoke assembled orders
  • Improve operational planning, workflow and communication across departments
  • Monitor stock flow, supplier performance and operational bottlenecks
  • Introduce and improve systems, processes and KPIs to support growth and efficiency
  • Work closely with the sales function to ensure operational capability aligns with business demand
  • Manage operational priorities, resource planning and problem-solving in a fast-paced environment
  • Drive continuous improvement across warehousing, logistics, fulfilment and customer service
  • Support the business through a period of significant growth and operational transformation

  • Strong background in warehouse and operational management
  • Experience working within an SME environment
  • Proven track record of supporting or leading business growth and operational scaling
  • Ability to implement structure, process and operational improvements
  • Strong organisational and planning skills
  • Experience managing multiple moving parts within a supply chain or fulfilment operation
  • Confident leadership and people management capability
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
  • Ideally, exposure to both smaller businesses and larger structured organisations
