Eleanor Vance
Senior Supply Chain Analyst | Demand Planning & Inventory Optimisation
Wessex Logistics Solutions
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Supply Chain Analyst position at Wessex Logistics Solutions. With a background centred on multi-echelon inventory control, distribution modelling, and quantitative demand forecasting, I welcome the opportunity to support your operational teams in enhancing inventory health and delivery performance across regional distribution networks.
In my current position as Lead Supply Chain Analyst at Severn Valley Distribution Ltd, I lead sales and operations planning data modelling across five regional distribution hubs, ensuring monthly forecasts align with warehouse capacity. To address inventory holding demands, I developed an automated replenishment model using Power BI and SQL that reduced safety-stock holding costs by 14% while sustaining an order fulfilment rate of 98.5%. Furthermore, I direct monthly performance reviews for 45 tier-1 vendors, monitoring DIFOT metrics and lead-time adherence to systematically remove inbound bottlenecks.
Prior to this, at Avon Logistics & Retail Partners, I built multi-echelon inventory optimisation models for 120 retail store accounts, decreasing stock-outs on seasonal lines by 22%. I also collaborated closely with procurement and freight forwarding teams to redesign sea-to-rail container handovers through Avonmouth docks, shortening inbound dwell times by three days. Combined with my background standardising data schemas across SAP MM and warehouse management systems, this work has provided me with practical methods for resolving distribution constraints.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my analytical background in inventory replenishment and supplier coordination aligns with the operational requirements at Wessex Logistics Solutions. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Eleanor Vance
