Are you someone who thrives in a hands-on role, takes ownership, and wants to be part of something growing from the ground up?

An exciting opportunity has opened up for a Warehouse & Workshop Operative to join a rapidly growing division of a well-established import and distribution business. This role is perfect for someone looking to take full responsibility for a dedicated warehouse and light production function within a small but ambitious team.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be the go-to person for all warehouse and workshop activities. This includes:

• Goods In: Receiving and inspecting deliveries, unloading containers
  
  
• Stock Handling: Putting stock away, picking, packing, relabelling
  
  
• Goods Out: Preparing orders, arranging courier transport, liaising with drivers
  
  
• Inventory: Stock takes, PI counts, and basic reporting
  
  
• Workshop Tasks: Setting up and operating converting machines
  
  
• Admin Tasks: Basic computer use, record keeping, labelling
  
  
• Samples: Managing incoming and outgoing samples
  
  
• Housekeeping: Keeping the workspace tidy and efficient
  
  
• Growth Potential: As the business evolves, so will this role
  
  You’ll be working from a shared warehouse with around 6–7 others (from the parent company), but this position is fully dedicated to a fast-growing import and manufacturing project.
  
  Requirements
  
  
• Proactive – You see what needs doing and get it done

• Smart – Not just with systems, but with how you work and solve problems
  
  A counterbalance or bendi forklift licence is highly beneficial. A driving licence is desirable but not essential.
  
  What’s In It For You?
  
  
• Salary: £27,500 – £32,500 (depending on experience)
