Summary
Driven professional with knack for leadership and logistical coordination, skilled in inventory management and team supervision. Demonstrates strong problem-solving abilities coupled with excellent communication skills. Committed to optimising warehouse operations and enhancing productivity. Export and Import control including managing a customs warehouse, and CI plans. Saving over £20,000 in shipping costs over an 8 month period. Leading a team to introduce a kitting process that caters for specific customer needs and showcases the ability to streamline their production line by having the material already prepared for them in a KIT. This secured ALA a contract worth over £2.5 million over 3 years. I have a wide knowledge of stock management in in a short shelf life environment and non lifed material. With the processes I put in place I took stock accuracy to over 98% for ALA UK and with CSM from a below 50% accuracy to a 98% accuracy which helped give CSM the supplier of the year award for 2014 with M&S. Previously CSM were not even in contention so this was a massive achievement. In my current role with ALA I have changed the way the warehouse operates to a much more productive and efficient environment by changing the layout of the warehouse, implementing paperless picking and cross training operatives to cover all roles within the warehouse. I have good knowledge in custom control and trade compliance including incoterms and commodity codes. Exporting Military controlled parts with Licenses such as OGELs and applying for Certificates of Origin with HMRC.
