Generation Logistics Case Study
Barbara Marchewka, Transport Team Manager – Co-op
I am a Transport Team Manager for Co-op in Thurrock, which means running the everyday operation in the transport office and managing 29 colleagues.
I started my career in logistics when I was 19, starting as a Warehouse Operative and then moving to the goods in office as Bay Controller. I have spent the last seven years in the transport department, starting as a support assistant, dispatching jobs and debriefing drivers, before completing three years in the planning and compliance team.
For the last three years, I have been the Transport Day Shift Manager. Logistics has given me the opportunity to progress and develop myself. In terms of training and development, my previous transport experience helped me to secure this role, and I have health and safety qualifications from IOSH.
The best thing about my role is the contact with people in a busy and dynamic department. Co-op also encourages me to develop my career and provides lots of opportunities to gain new knowledge and have new experiences.
My career highlight to date has been working with the implementation team to help train new staff for a brand-new depot in Biggleswade.
