Meet Kerrie, Logistics Fleet Manager in Bournville

Friday, October 25, 2024

What makes my role exciting and unique?

Logistics touch all aspects of the factory, from supporting raw and packing materials, moving those materials around the factory, and dispatching finished goods. Every day presents an opportunity to learn, grow and develop.

I am in a new role at the company and enjoy shaping the future of some of the site processes. I feel empowered to make a difference, and that’s something I value in a role.

What are you most proud of being a leader at MDLZ?

Based at the iconic Bournville site, I am super proud to be part of the team responsible for bringing joy to millions. Every season, every holiday, and every special occasion a Cadbury product can be a part of, and it’s a great feeling knowing that I am involved in that!

Who is Kerrie outside MDLZ?

I am a first-time Mom to a now 18-month-old. She brings joy to me every day, as well as keeping me on my toes. My partner and I love to spend time in warm climates and have continued to do so with our little girl, who already has four stamps in her passport and a further 2 planned this year! Later this year, I am marrying my partner, Daniel; we have an elopement wedding planned in a destination that neither of us has been to before - exciting times!

What is your commitment to supporting women in the Supply Chain?

I want to show other women that you can be a mother and still build a successful career in logistics/manufacturing. I have been given the freedom to balance my new family commitments with flexible working, and it’s working so well!
