- Hands-on picking, packing, pallet wrapping and forklift work, including unloading containers and trucks
- Keeping stock accurate and well organised, and supporting regular stocktakes
- Making sure orders are processed accurately and dispatched on time
- Keeping the warehouse safe, clean and well run

- A current orklift licence (LF), with reach forklift experience
- Experience with freight and courier bookings and planning delivery runs
- Confident with computers: Microsoft 365, basic Excel and CRM or order systems
- Organised, accurate and a clear communicator
- A "no job too big or too small" attitude, with a strong work ethic and a flexible approach
- A current car licence, with the ability to drive a manual vehicle
- An LR truck licence is a bonus, but not essential
What's on offer
- Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm, with occasional weekend work only

- A monthly bonus on top of your salary
- A supportive, family-owned business where your contribution is genuinely valued
- Real opportunity to grow with the business
If you're a reliable, hands-on leader who takes pride in running a tight warehouse, we'd love to hear from you.
