· Support central logistics team to ensure the efficient running of local and central transport to support a high-quality service delivery resource to our clients

· Responsible for (in conjunction with the central Re-hire team) the Re-hire allocation; identifying and prioritizing customer requirements to maximise business growth opportunities

· Handle and manage incoming external / internal calls and sales enquiries to support local team as required

· Provide hire and transport rate support to local team when Depot Manager is unavailable

· Support identification of new business opportunities from inbound enquiries and work with local and regional teams to secure new business wins in line with company sales growth goals

· Opportunity to be involved in developing existing and new customer accounts through outbound sales activity

· Support and achieve delivery of sales growth targets for all FTH products and services.
