An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Logistics Supervisor to join our business. Working as an integral part of our central logistics team, you will enjoy being hands-on in carrying out daily tasks as part of the wider team, but relish the increased responsibility of leading by example and supervising warehouse staff and drivers (plus occasional agency staff).
