Companies need smart, energetic people to manage the Logistics of the Warehousing and Distribution of both their supplies and their products. This career is challenging, but offers great satisfaction to people who are focussed on attention to detail and are naturally highly organised.

You will co-ordinate deliveries to clients, keeping continuous contact with freight companies and production teams, aiming to maximise efficiency and exceed client's expectations. You will need to be a good communicator and be comfortable juggling multiple (and sometimes conflicting) requirements.

You could be responsible for inventory and replenishment planning or managing the buying of stock from local suppliers. You might also supervise the warehouse distribution team and negotiate with transport companies and product suppliers to ensure all aspects of the warehouse operate cost effectively.

While much of your learning will come 'on-the-job', you can add on to your existing qualifications or gain new qualifications in the business-oriented 'Competitive Manufacturing' courses.
