Peter Hanes

I am a highly motivated and experienced warehouse professional with a strong background in team leadership, operations, and process improvement. Over several years working as a Shift Leader and Section Leader in fast-paced distribution and production environments, I have developed the ability to lead high-performing teams, implement Health & Safety best practices, and deliver consistently high operational standards. I take pride in my excellent organisational, problem-solving and decision-making skills, alongside a hands-on leadership style that motivates teams to achieve and exceed targets.

Currently pursuing a BA (Hons) in Global Business and Entrepreneurship at Oxford Brookes University, I am committed to developing my leadership and business management skills further. I am now seeking to apply my knowledge, experience, and work ethic in a Warehouse Supervisor role within a progressive organisation that values operational efficiency, staff development, and continuous improvement. I bring a strong work ethic, the ability to perform under pressure, and a proactive approach to driving performance, safety, and service excellence.
