I have 30 years Managerial experience within the Mail Order Catalogue and E Commerce / Fulfilment & distribution industry. Six of these years were also linked with the Manufacturing sector.I am very much a hands on manager and have a "can do" attitude, I am able to work within tight deadlines and enjoy a challenge, I have set up several warehouses from empty shells into fully operational units and also relocated the entire contents of 3 warehouses to entirely new premises and set them back up into fully operational businesses.My experience is wide and varied not just within the Mail Order Fulfilment industry but within the freight forwarding Import/ Export Logistics / Distribution sector as well dealing with both air freight and sea freight and road transport including groupage and dedicated loads. I have also worked within a manufacturing and end product sales environment in both Mail Order B2C and B2B.In the past i have enjoyed dealing with people and building solid working relationships which i have done during my period in trade and B2B sales.In recent years I have enjoyed the challenge of moving two entire businesses to new locations and then setting them back up into operational units, I would like to undertake more of this type of work possibly as a new challenge and would welcome enquires for possible positions in this type of work, I would consider a specific job as one off contract please contact me.My main hobbies are Classic Cars i have a great knowledge of the Porsche brand and have rebuilt four Porsche 911's and had the pleasure of owning many other makes of Classic Car including Ferrari, Alfa, Jensen, Jaguar & Triumph but Porsche are my addiction (as my profile picture shows you can never have too many 911's in your life). During a typical weekend I can normally be found working on either a car, digger, tractor or spending time with our Horses which we show at various county shows across the UK, I also enjoy Motor sport and Photography and most of all living life in the Kent countryside.I have been with my current company for Seventeen years.
