What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead operations and logistics with strong compliance, efficiency, and team performance—while continuing to grow my cyber security and risk-management capability to improve business outcomes.

I’m an Operations and Logistics Manager with over 18 years of success leading transport, warehousing, fleet operations, and business management in fast-paced logistics and commercial environments. I’ve managed large teams, improved operational efficiency, and maintained full compliance with transport and safety regulations.

I’m confident across transport planning, HR management, contract operations, and customer service, and I bring hands-on experience from running a profitable eco-friendly e-commerce business. As Managing Director, I founded Cubs n Foal, achieved £114k turnover and profitability within the first year, managed website development and cybersecurity, and sold the business for profit.

Today, I’m combining operational leadership with modern risk management through professional studies in Cyber Security (Level 2 Certificate in Cyber Security – Eastleigh College, 2024–Present). In recent roles, I’ve led contract growth, managed workforce operations and quotations/costing, overseen warehouse and delivery performance, and driven compliance-focused delivery outcomes.
