• Leading production and material planning, ensuring raw materials and finished goods are in the right place at the right time while supporting efficient production and service levels.
• Managing stock control, WIP and inventory processes, with a focus on accuracy, rotation, traceability, quality and effective use of space.
• Overseeing logistics, intake and despatch operations, including 3PL, booking processes and the timely movement of goods.
• Leading, coaching and developing teams across planning, stock control and logistics, building capability through clear objectives, regular reviews and succession planning.
