Ability to work effectively as part of a team and independently using your own initiative.
Good communication skills and the ability to provide a professional service to colleagues and customers.

Desirable:

Previous experience within a warehouse, distribution, manufacturing or agricultural environment.
Experience of order picking, goods receiving, vehicle loading and unloading or stock control activities.

Familiarity with warehouse stock locations, inventory systems or scanning equipment.
