Kidderminster, United Kingdom E3 Recruitment Full time
Job Description

Managing Director - Logistics
£100,000 + Package
Company Car Allowance
Profit related Bonus
Location - Kidderminster
This is a brand-new position which has been created due to a transitional period where the former owners are retiring following the acquisition of the business.
The business operates on a UK wide basis in both General Haulage and Pallet Network distribution. The group in which it is part of has depots located across Scotland and England. They allow its sites to operate in an entrepreneurial manner but offers plenty of support if needed.
This is a Logistics Director position where no job will be beneath you, it is a family-orientated culture with passionate people which is an essential part of their success that must be retained. There is however an element of improvement that can be made by utilising group resources more than is currently done. You will be responsible for all elements of the site, Operationally, Commercially, H&S/Compliance, Finance and HR. You do have an experienced team around you, however the management structure is currently fairly flat with opportunities to improve.
This is a £10.25m+ turnover business which has historically and still today, traded well with strong profitability. It has a diverse customer base and completely sector agnostic with no customer accounting for more than 15% of its turnover. In these competitive times in the industry, business development and margin control are going to be a key priority. There is an underutilised warehouse which is a substantial opportunity to develop.
There is fleet of approx. 60 vehicles (rigids & artics) plus 50 trailers with its own commercial garage on site primarily maintaining and repairing our own fleet. Dependent on time of year and peaks, the employee head count easily rises to 90+ across all functions of the business.
This is not a turnaround position and the primary objective to start with is to preserve what is there then swiftly move on to developing and taking the company further.
Requirements of the position of a Managing Director - Logistics

  • Commercial/Business Development Strategy implementation.
  • Responsible for P&L/budget.
  • Overseeing Finance, H&S/Compliance, Operations, Sales, HR.
  • Previous general haulage and pallet network experience is required.
