Summary
An exceptional Logistics Director with a proven track record in delivery of KPI's and cost control. I am an extremely loyal employee who is pro active in the development of employees for the future to support the growth of the business. I enjoy the challenges the daily logistics operation brings and the opportunity this gives you to look for continuous improvement. I have consistently demonstrated strong leadership and communication skills. Which has enabled my Teams to perform to consistently high levels which enables the sales operations to focus on the customer experience to drive turnover and unit sales growth. This has also fostered a culture of people development which has seen a number of colleagues working for me move onto more senior roles throughout the business.
