Down Side

I am an ambitious, hands-on warehouse and despatch professional with over a decade of operational experience across retail charity, IT refurbishment, automotive supply chain and skincare distribution. I bring a practical 'can do' attitude and enjoy working independently or as part of a team.

I have progressed from voluntary and entry roles into permanent warehouse positions where I handled receiving, QA, pick/pack, invoicing and export shipments, and qualified on Counterbalance, Order picker and Bendi trucks. I refined my skills working on fragile, high-value stock and was involved in detailed stock listing and system updates.

Within a year at my previous employer I was promoted to Despatch Supervisor, managing a team of four to meet daily targets and SLAs while overseeing Amazon account performance and carrier selection to reduce distribution costs. I helped implement an Oracle-based WMS, led process mapping, capacity planning and consolidation of warehouse units to generate savings.

I hold a Level 2 NVQ in warehousing, multiple vehicle licences and a full UK driving licence, and I am proficient with Microsoft Office and hand-held scanning devices. I am motivated by continuous improvement, inventory integrity and delivering reliable, cost-effective fulfilment operations.
