Operations supervisor with eight years leading frontline teams in warehousing and distribution in Leeds. Runs the shift — leading and motivating operatives, hitting throughput and accuracy targets, managing safety and flow, and keeping the operation moving through whatever the day brings. Reorganised the shift's processes and team layout, improving productivity and cutting errors. Manages rotas, performance and training, handles escalations and problems on the floor, drives health-and-safety, and reports performance to management. Strong on both the operational numbers and the people leadership that gets a team performing. Calm and decisive when things go wrong, and respected by the team.
