Warehouse/Distribution Manager
Klerksdorp,North West
Summary
I am a very dedicated and self driven person always looking for new challenges. I'm motivated by learning new skills and building my career. I believe people are a company's biggest and most important asset and creating a work culture of high performance is essential in success. This culture must have a balance between high performance and enjoying your duties. I'm a firm believer in entrenched processes and motivated staff that makes the business a success. Any job must be seen as your own business and each employee must try to grow his/her business by minimizing cost and increasing turnover for company. Customer service is a vital part of any business and it gives the company the upper hand on their competitors. New challenges excite me and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to achieve my goals.
