Transport Director

Package: Competitive + Long‑Term Growth Pathway

You're not looking for another transport job, you're looking for a division to own. This role gives you exactly that!

A key, UK Food business is creating a new Transport Director position to take full leadership of a high‑volume, fast‑moving logistics operation with huge headroom for growth. This is a rare opportunity to step into a business-critical division with the autonomy, scale, and strategic influence normally reserved for board-level roles.

What Makes This Role Different

Division Ownership: You will take full accountability for a transport operation that already moves significant national volume, with the mandate to shape its future.
Unlimited Growth Potential: The organisation is investing heavily in logistics capability. The size of this division is only limited by your ambition and strategic vision.
True Autonomy: You'll have the freedom to design the structure, build the team, modernise the fleet strategy, and set the operational direction.
Strategic Influence: You'll shape how product moves from field to customers across the UK.
A Platform to Scale: With the right leadership, this division can double in size. The business wants someone who sees that potential and runs with it.
