Background
A national logistics and retail distribution business required urgent cover for a SHEQ Manager role during a 12-month maternity leave.
The position was critical to maintaining compliance, driving safety culture, and supporting operational teams across multiple high-risk sites.
The Challenge
The client needed an experienced professional with a strong background in logistics and distribution. They needed the ability to lead SHEQ initiatives, manage audits, and influence stakeholders at all levels, while ensuring continuity and strategic progress during the absence of the permanent postholder.
The Solution
We placed an experienced SHEQ professional who quickly integrated into the team and delivered immediate value by:
Delivering site audits and compliance reviews
Leading the implementation of cultural initiatives
Supporting IMS implementation and improvement
The Results
Improved Compliance and Assurance: Audits and inspections were completed across sites, ensuring legal compliance and readiness for external reviews.
Enhanced Safety Culture: Behavioural safety and engagement was promoted, driving improvements in workforce awareness and accountability.
Operational Continuity: Key SHEQ projects progressed without disruption, supporting business transformation goals.
