1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am currently working in a delivery services role which includes organising transfers, a lot of communication with the haulier, warehouses and internal customers. My days vary so I am not in the same routine every day, however the main structure would be responding to emails, communicating/organising with haulier, warehouses and other teams
