Personal Information

Outside of work I enjoy volunteering at a local charity shop, which develops my customer service, teamwork, and organisational skills in a community setting. I regularly organise family events and trips, showcasing my planning, coordination, and problem-solving abilities.

I am also a keen skydiver, demonstrating confidence, focus, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. At home I take on DIY projects, improving my practical, hands-on skills and attention to detail. I also keep up-to-date with logistics and supply chain trends to stay informed and bring fresh ideas to my professional work.
