What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in logistics where I can drive operational excellence and foster team development.

I'm Mark Lloyd, a seasoned logistics operations manager with a proven track record in transforming underperforming facilities into profitable operations. At A.P. Moller Maersk, I successfully turned a 20% loss-making facility into a 20-25% profit-making operation within just four months. My hands-on approach and strategic planning have consistently led to operational improvements and cost reductions.

Throughout my career, I have managed significant projects, including the successful launch of Zara.com in South Africa and the seamless relocation of its packing station. My ability to negotiate cost reductions has saved millions for my employers, while my commitment to staff development has empowered teams to excel in their roles. I am passionate about leveraging data-driven insights to enhance operational efficiency and drive business success.
