Generation Logistics case study: Hannah, Regional Resource Manager, Hoyer


After graduating with a degree in International Business and French, Hannah joined Hoyer in April 2016 as a Fuels Planner.

“As my degree wasn't directly linked to logistics, I was delighted to be offered the Planner role and get my foot in the door with such a reputable company,” she recounts.

Just over a year later she was successful in gaining a place on the company's Employee Development Programme and given a company mentor and structured development plan to help her achieve her career goals.

“After only two years in the planning team I was offered the role of Planning Supervisor for one of the bitumen contracts,” she says, “an opportunity I grabbed with both hands. I viewed it as a great stepping-stone towards progressing further into management in the future.”

Following a company restructure in 2020, the responsibility for Resource Planning moved from the field locations to Head Office and Hannah was appointed as a Regional Resource Manager.

“My current role in the business poses challenges that must be solved in the most efficient and cost-effective manner,” she says. “I am faced with new challenges to solve on a daily basis, whether it be customer facing or through ensuring that I effectively manage my team of planners to ensure that the operation runs to its fullest potential. I have enjoyed being pushed out of my comfort zone during this time.

Possessing strong communication and problem-solving skills, and being able to manage your own time effectively, is a major plus for anyone coming into this type of working environment due to the ever-changing nature of the job and the unpredictable situations that arise.

“Hoyer offers excellent personal development opportunities for those with “can-do, will-do” attitude,” Hannah beams. “I have learnt a lot and made some great friends over the last four years and I’m very eager to progress further within the company, broaden my experiences as far as I can and progress my career further.”
