What does the scheme involve?
Logistics ensure products reach stores on time, in excellent condition and at the right cost. No two days on this scheme are the same and the pace is hectic.

You begin in store then move to the distribution centres at the sharp end of our operation. This will help you to see how issues such as product availability affect our customers and help you understand the complexities involved in getting a product from supplier to customer.

A placement with the Central Supply Chain at our London Store Support Centre exposes you to forecasting and supplier liaison. By the end of the scheme you'll be in a position to take up a management role within the Logistics division and progress to become a senior logistics leader.

Work won't always be nine to five: ours is a 24 hours a day, seven days a week operation which will mean you will be working a variety expected to work a variety of shifts including days, evenings, nights and weekends. We will also require a minimum 2.1 or above, ideally in a relevant logistics, retail or business management degree.

What skills will you develop?
Through early responsibility for people and projects you'll develop a good understanding of the operational and managerial issues surrounding the logistics division. Coupled with the leadership skills you'll learn (we're looking for the logistics leaders of the future), this scheme represents an exciting head start into your career.
