This is the first blog in our meet the team series. In this post we meet the Transport team here at The NX Group. Our customers and drivers talk to the Transport team every day to arrange collections, deliveries, updates on deliveries and a whole range of other tasks. This is one of the largest teams here at NX, covering a variety of roles. The team are located at our main operations office in Crick, Northamptonshire.
What does the team do?
Within the Transport office, there are several roles covered. The wider team consists of our transport customer service team, key accounts team and administrators. These roles cover everything from booking in drivers, arranging collections and deliveries, booking deliveries for Ireland and the EU, customer service support for our key accounts to name a few. There is always a buzz in the office, with the phones ringing and emails flying in.

What’s your favourite part of being team leader?
Encouraging and working alongside my team, continuously letting them know ‘they’ve got this’ and when we all work together to resolve issues it’s a really good feeling.
