We would like to give a very warm welcome to Mollie, our new Warehouse Operations Manager. Mollie joins us with a wealth of warehouse and contract logistics experience from varying backgrounds and will be a welcome asset to our company.

From desserts to educational journeys, Mollie joins us for a quick-fire interview.

Tell us about your career background and the experiences you bring to Simarco.

Before starting Simarco, I spent 4 years managing a contract for a clothing brand at a large 3PL company. I started my warehousing journey by completing an ILM level 3 graduate scheme straight from university and took on the role of Stock and Admin Shift Manager.   After 9 months I was offered the opportunity to become Operational Shift Manager where I oversaw the operations of the clothing brands retail, ecommerce, and wholesale processes.

What are you looking forward to the most in your new role?

I am looking forward to getting to know the team and working with them to define the operational processes more so that we can have a successful peak. I am also looking forward to all the new experiences that will come with my new role.

How have you found your first few weeks?

Nobody enjoys being the new person, but I have felt so welcomed and I am thankful to everyone who has taken the time to sit with me to give me an overview of their roles within the business. I am very much enjoying the shorter commute into work in the mornings after travelling over an hour in my previous role.

What’s the best thing about your job / career choice. 

The best thing about my career choice is that no two days are ever the same in logistics. I love being able to get stuck in with the team and have the feeling of accomplishment when we can react to the customers’ needs and provide a great service.

If you could swap jobs for the day with someone else at Simarco, who would it be and why?

Since joining Simarco I have spent time with other areas of the business and have found it extremely interesting learning lots of new aspects. I think I would like to swap jobs for the day with Key Account Manager, Piotr. He is involved in lots of interesting projects and has opportunities to travel around the country and abroad; something I would love.

And now for the fun stuff…

Tell us about your hobbies and what you enjoy doing outside of work.

I love spending time with my family, especially my son, Freddie. We currently spend most of our weekends running around soft play areas or going on adventures with our two cockapoos. My hobby has always been reading, I love getting cosy on the sofa and getting lost in a good book.

If you were a dessert, what would you be and why?

This question took some thought, but I would be a banana split, because I am often split between thinking you only live once and being over cautious!

Team Simarco wishes Mollie all the best in her new role.
