Expected duration: Ongoing Long term opportunity for versatile UK based freelancer - Logistics/Supply chain/Purchase Ledger

ABOUT US….
We are two UK based and registered specialist food producers/importers in the Health/Organic side of the food business. We are closely allied in terms of personnel but each with our own product ranges.
Sourcing from Europe and Asia, our customers include major retail chains and specialist wholesalers serving the health food market. There is no direct to customer business or website selling at present, and no Amazon presence.
ABOUT YOU….
You will have a broad understanding and experience of logistics, shipping and supply chain: Experience in supply to major retailers will be a distinct bonus. You should have some book keeping and/or accounting experience.
You should be a native English speaker. Working knowledge of European languages would be an asset, but most of our Suppliers’ staff are ok with working in English.
There is no requirement for face to face meetings so geographical location within the UK and an an hour timezone east or west is not likely to be an issue.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR….
Operating from your own office, with access to good internet connection and office facilities we are asking you to:
- Arrange and oversee importation of stock using existing routes and customs clearance agents
- Solve supply chain and logistics problems as they may arise - Act as first point of contact for supply chain contacts
- Process customer orders as appropriate
- Manage and report on stock levels
- Manage and execute occasional sample send outs
- be familiar with Xero accounting software for placing of production orders and invoicing customers (but note wider book keeping is already sourced from another freelancer)
