TRANSPORT & DISTRIBUTION MANAGER
Klassic Care Place Limited is a Cheltenham\-based delivery and logistics company.

\* Control operating costs: fuel cards, supplier relationships and route budgets
\* Plan capacity and resourcing as we open new delivery routes
\* Report operational and financial performance to the director and help shape strategy
