Summary

Motivated, organised, and hardworking individual who is data driven and takes pride in delivering results and the positive impact it has on customer service. Great team player who works well under pressure and builds effective cross-departmental relationships. Passionate about continuous improvement and delivering tangible and visible business benefits. This ethos has seen me achieve rapid progression with my current employer, from supply chain planner to leading our eCommerce operations. Having excelled in my Supply Chain Practitioner qualification, and with over 3 years' experience in the logistics and FMCG industry, I am now eager to further my personal development, acquire new skills, and progress a career in a larger organisation where I can continue to make a difference.
