Our business operates multiple depots across the UK, with each of our General Managers acting as business unit leaders, responsible for growing their own regions.

This approach has proven successful; our teams are regional experts, and we've established our own depot network to share revenue.

Our General Managers are crucial in driving the financial and operational performance of their transport depots. They effectively manage closed-book transport operations and actively develop and maintain commercial relationships with both existing and new clients.

Over the past three years, weve built a network of high-performing depots, invested in equipment, adjusted our commercial strategies, and structured our depots to support and foster growth.

However, one area where we've been inconsistent across the network is in providing leadership development for our site teams.

As a result, we now need to focus more on people, engagement, and development in some of our sites.

This is particularly important to us because we want all our depots to feel connected and involved in the direction of the business.

This specific depot needs a true leadersomeone who can develop people and foster engagement.

The site needs a figurehead to rally around; someone who can inspire, motivate, and be equally comfortable on the shop floor as in client review meetings.

We are seeking an experienced leadereither someone who has already been in a top role or a second-in-command ready for the next step. The ideal candidate will come from the logistics, transport, haulage, or 3PL sector and have experience with palletised networks.

We offer autonomy, development opportunities, and variety. We are committed to supporting our peoples career goals and rewarding those who add genuine value to our colleagues, clients, and network.
