"The variety and scope of the work in logistics keeps you involved and motivated. I've been the blending manager at the largest edible oil refinery in Europe, managed the weekend shift of a PG Tips tea factory and am now one of the three European Category Planners in Deodorants and Perfumery at Elida Faberge."

"In my job I need to be flexible and quick thinking. I manage a team that is responsible for ensuring that sales promotion material reaches Boots' stores - all 1,400 of them - on time. We often need to respond to market changes within hours and the stakes are high. This means that it is essential to build and maintain a strong and effective team who pull together and react quickly."

"After working in logistics operations and strategy, I was seconded, as part of the graduate training programme, to Lever Brothers to gain experience of the manufacturing supply chain. I've also had the opportunity to study for the then Institute of Logistics Diploma. After completing the training programme, I'm working on long-term strategic projects, focusing on our key strategic suppliers and industry developments. I've had early responsibility and gained a broad understanding of the supply chain. It's a steep learning curve and you have to be up to challenge of a fast-moving, constantly evolving environment."
