Alistair Vance
Senior Inventory Manager | Supply Chain Operations & Stock Control
Borealis Distribution Ltd
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Inventory Manager position at Borealis Distribution Ltd. With a background directing multi-site stock control, depot auditing, and warehouse storage optimization within fast-paced logistics networks, I welcome the opportunity to bring my hands-on inventory governance to your operations.
In my current role as Senior Inventory Manager at Vanguard Retail Logistics Ltd, I lead stock control across three regional fulfillment centres comprising 450,000 square feet and 28,000 active stock-keeping units. By introducing structured ABC cycle-counting procedures and automated barcode discrepancy alerts, I reduced year-end inventory write-offs by 24% while directing four inventory supervisors and twenty-two inventory controllers. Furthermore, our team's regular audit cadence has consistently maintained discrepancy rates below 0.35% across high-velocity FMCG lines.
Additionally, my operational focus extends to storage allocation and picking efficiency. During a dedicated warehouse slotting and dynamic allocation overhaul, I configured dynamic slotting rules for fast-turn seasonal goods across 80,000 square feet, cutting average picking travel time by 18% and standardizing cross-docking workflows. Combined with my prior experience managing replenishment and reconciling stock records in SAP at Kestrel Industrial Distribution Ltd, I ensure that storage capacity, system records, and depot workflows align closely with service level agreements.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my stock control experience and operational background can support Borealis Distribution Ltd in maintaining high inventory accuracy.
Yours sincerely,
Alistair Vance
