About the role
The Distribution Network and Customer team is responsible for shaping and building our future distribution network, ensuring we have the capacity and facilities to offer unbeatable service to our customers.
The wider team includes the Customer Service Team -the single point of contact for all customer email and phone enquiries and the Facilities Team – responsible for cost‑effective delivery of capital projects and day to day maintenance across Distribution.
Together these teams support the wider Distribution teams, operating from 9 Distribution Centres and serving over 200 Booker Cash and Carry branches and 5000 independent retail customers. We make over 10,000 deliveries per week.
As an Analyst in the team there are lots of interesting problems to solve.

This role is an ideal development opportunity for someone wishing to progress in their career and develop their ability to line manage, own projects and to be a role model of what a great analyst looks like.
