New role will ensure a stress free âonboardingâ experience for Walker Logisticsâ clients
Berkshire-based online fulfillment specialist, Walker Logistics, has announced the appointment of Trevor Ebdon as its new Planning & Inventory Manager - a new position within Walkerâs operations team.
The role has been created to ensure that Walkerâs new clients enjoy a stress-free âonboardingâ experience during the early stages of their contract.
Adrian Skirrow, Walker Logisticsâ Head of Operations, commented: âWe have established the role of Planning & Inventory Manager to ensure the smoothest possible transition for clients that are outsourcing their order fulfilment process for the first time or migrating from a previous logistics partner to Walker.
âExperience shows that if the âgo liveâ is a success the relationship between a 3PL and its client company is far more likely to develop into a long and mutually beneficial one, so we always aim to âhit the ground runningâ with each new client.â
A hugely experienced operations/warehouse manager, Trevor Ebdon has held senior positions with Unipart Logistics, Sony and WH Smith in a supply chain career spanning more than 30 years.
Trevor Ebdon commented: âThis exciting new role lets me use the knowledge and skills Iâve gained in my previous management positions to support the efforts of Walkerâs operations team and I am looking forward to playing my part in Walker Logisticsâ continued success.â
Earlier this year Walker Logistics announced that it had received planning permission to build a new 125,000 sq ft warehouse on land adjacent to its existing multi-user hub. Construction is expected to start early next year and the work is projected to be complete by the end of 2022.
