About OccaStore:

OccaStore is a Warrington-based sports nutrition, wellness and active lifestyle distributor. We support brands and retail partners across wholesale, marketplace trading, e-commerce fulfilment and operational distribution.

The business works with a broad mix of customers and routes to market, including gyms, retailers, convenience, marketplaces, export customers and online channels. Accuracy, speed and stock discipline are important because the warehouse supports a wide range of orders, from single-item online orders through to larger trade and wholesale requirements.

As the business grows, the warehouse operation needs people who care about getting the basics right: accurate picking, clear stock locations, clean processes, safe working and orders leaving on time.

Purpose of Role:

The Warehouse Operations Assistant will support the day-to-day running of the warehouse operation, with a focus on accurate order processing, picking, packing, stock control, replenishment and use of warehouse management systems.

This is a hands-on warehouse role. The role holder will be expected to work at pace, follow processes carefully, maintain accurate stock locations and support the Operations Director with routine operational tasks.

The role is important because warehouse accuracy directly affects customer orders, marketplace performance, trade orders, stock visibility and the overall efficiency of the business. The successful candidate must be comfortable with physical work and must take pride in completing warehouse tasks properly.
