  Logistics Team Leader for this successful fashion retailer based in Central London.

As a fashion retailer, shipments are very time sensitive for range & season launches so it is vital product arrive within set deadlines as dictated by merch / buying teams. I also support our own DC which covers 150,000sq ft based in Northampton. Have introduced many 'best practices' in my time with Paperchase to improve efficiency & remove duplication of roles in the company.

• Operations Manager

  • Mar 2003 - Mar 2009

  NZ Operations Manager responsible for 12 staff in the Ops Team looking after airfreight, imports and exports and working closely with the customs team for brokerage. I was also part of the NZ management team responsible for strategic decisions to grow the business, increase profits, raise the business profile, reduce costs, migrating to a new operating system & full procurement review during my 6 years that saw Vanguard Logistics established as a leading NVOCC both in New Zealand & globally. To ensure we stayed a market leader, it was critical we had the best team that were highly motivated by having the right tools & training for the job. This was constantly reviewed through internal KPI's & SOP's & the added motiviation of financial rewards for staff that excelled created healthy competition amongst operators. I also involved the operators in client visits giving them & the client face to face contact which was & remains fairly unique within the NZ freight industry. With good staff retention also gave our clients continuity which contributed to our growth over the 6 years. Show less
