Name: Damian Krzysztofik
Occupation: Warehouse Manager
What do you enjoy most about working at Rhenus Corby?
I enjoy working with people, we are a great team. Every day I learn new things, this helps to keep my job challenging and exciting. I also really enjoy supporting people towards their goals.
Describe what a normal day looks like in your role?
Challenging I would say, as every day is different. I always have to make sure we prioritise, getting the most urgent work done first. I have to do this while also making sure the team is happy and there are no issues, and if there are, then we solve them right away – so it can be a bit of balancing act at times. But it’s all these things that make the business runs smoothly.
What do you see as the biggest challenge in our industry at the moment?
I would say everyday challenges are making sure all workload is planned and completed in time and customer service is at the top level as each customer is different and so has different needs.
When you’re not at work what do you enjoy doing most?
I like to spend my spare time being active and discovering new places.

As most will know, there isn't a “normal day” in transport. No day is the same, except there is always a problem to solve or a solution to be found!

I have been working at Rhenus Corby for a little more than a year now and really enjoy it. We provide our services to a wide range of customers from different industries, with products that have different handling and transport requirements, hence it never gets boring. Most I enjoy working with the great team here on site and being in a fast moving environment.
Describe what a normal day looks like in your role?
This really depends on the day! At the moment I’m part of the Innovation Centre, so it can be anything from analysing data to looking at our physical processes such as picking. The Innovation Centre is a place where we share knowledge, identify gaps and continuously review our processes and procedures to improve efficiency and further drive the high standards of our services.
What do you see as the biggest challenge in our industry at the moment?
Our business, to a large extent, depends on other industries and the overall economic situation.

This will create challenges one way or another, hence let’s see what happens over the next weeks and be prepared as much as possible.

Working with a really great bunch of people with no egos and always willing to challenge the norm!

I have a daily routine of spending my first-hour clearing and answering emails, then it is usually followed by meetings with the team or our customers, looking at new business opportunities or crunching data. Most days are similar but never the same!
What do you see as the biggest challenge in our industry at the moment?
The lack of new young talent coming through and wanting to work in logistics. There are a lot of initiatives going on within the industry to make it an attractive career prospect but we still have a way to go. Another ongoing challenge is with so many customers offering E-commerce solutions to their customers, to be able to offer bespoke services which are environmentally friendly (more eco-friendly packaging and final mile solutions).

Anything that means I’m outside! Skiing, paddle boarding, running, cycling and long-distance walking, the list goes on...
