Rowan Sinclair
Warehouse Supervisor
Forthline Logistics Ltd
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Warehouse Supervisor role at Forthline Logistics Ltd. With extensive experience supervising daily operations in high-volume distribution hubs across the Lothians, I have developed a practical approach to maintaining efficient dispatch workflows, supporting team productivity, and ensuring strict adherence to health and safety standards.
In my current position as Warehouse Supervisor at Lothian Freightways Ltd, I supervise daily shift operations across a 45,000 sq ft regional distribution centre, managing a team of 18 warehouse operatives and fork-lift operators. Operating within multi-temperature storage zones, I monitor pick and dispatch accuracy to sustain an average fulfillment rate of 99.2%. Additionally, I oversee inbound pallet receipts and cross-docking workflows using Manhattan Associates WMS, ensuring goods move efficiently from arrival to onward transport while maintaining accurate stock data.
A core focus of my supervisory work is establishing and maintaining a safe operational environment on the warehouse floor. Holding a NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, I routinely enforce warehouse safety standards and carry out risk assessments aligned with HSE guidelines, which has directly contributed to reducing recorded near-misses. Earlier in my career at Caledonian Retail Distribution, I also led picking crews, conducted cycle counts, and trained incoming personnel on safe manual handling and RF scanner operation.
I welcome the opportunity to bring my background in shift coordination, WMS-guided inventory control, and workplace safety compliance to Forthline Logistics Ltd. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to discussing how my experience meets your operational requirements.
Yours sincerely,
Rowan Sinclair
