Working in the contract logistics arena I am deploying a range of logistics services to the market from managing the entire range of non core logistics operations including manpower, systems and facilities to storage and reworking of product making it fit for sale. All these services integrate seamlessly with our global transport systems which when viewed with our GDP and AEO-F accreditation means piece of mind for our customer base.

Tasked with providing management consulting services to a varied SME base with a particular focus on warehousing, logistics processes and the print industry. Customers exploited my skill set by empowering me to act as their logistics manager, major account manager, cost accountant or warehouse manager at a fraction of the cost of having such a skill set on their books full time. During this period I delivered substantial cost savings, introduced new business and delivered software and logistics projects into my clients.

Reporting to the managing director I was responsible for the day to day management of the company which included finance, debtor management, corporate compliance, VAT and PAYE/PRSI returns, payroll, cost management, budget generation and management, creditor management and the production of weekly/monthly management reports. I was also responsible for the documentation and maintenance of both the ISO Quality and Health & Safety manuals including audits and corrective actions. I negotiated, monitored and maintained SLA’s and LTA’s with our main couriers, suppliers and customers and maintained my own sales book €260K (32% of total sales)
