• Work closely with overseas suppliers to monitor production progress, lead times and order quantities.

• Maintain accurate product, pricing, costing, barcode and stock data across internal systems.

• Develop positive relationships with suppliers and resolve any issues relating to quality, production, pricing or delivery.

• Coordinate product testing, quality checks and relevant supplier documentation where required.

• Arrange and monitor international shipments, working closely with freight partners and warehouses.

• Obtain and review freight quotations, supporting decisions around the most efficient shipping options.

• Coordinate shipments and deliveries to ensure stock arrives within agreed timescales.
