Are you an experienced operations professional in the freight forwarding or UK transport sector? We are working on behalf of a leading international logistics provider that is looking to appoint a UK & European Operations Co-ordinator to join their thriving team.
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a well-established logistics organisation that is part of a larger group with a turnover in excess of 140 million.

Key Responsibilities:
- Manage daily bookings for UK & European road transport services
