About Bristol Van Removals (BVR) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\=ydEoVvP45pE

Bristol Van Removals is one of the South West’s leading removals, storage, and logistics companies. We are a fast\-growing, systems\-driven business focused on elite customer experience, operational excellence, leadership development, and long\-term growth.

This is not a “traditional removals company” environment.

We operate with high standards, strong accountability, clear systems, and a culture built around professionalism, ownership, and continuous improvement.

We are looking for an Operations Manager who can help lead and strengthen the operational side of the business as we continue to scale.

• Supporting removals teams

• Assisting during high\-pressure operational situations

Over time, the role will continue developing further into a leadership and management\-focused position as the business grows.

• Reduce operational challenges

At BVR, attitude and ownership matter massively.

We are looking for somebody who:

• Takes responsibility
