Meet some of our new starters

I started driving three years ago and am working my way up to Class 1. With my dad here, logistics runs in the family and gave me the push to get started.

I’m excited to grow my skills and take on new challenges—patience and listening have been my strongest tools so far. I’ve never worked in a hands-on, family-run team before, and I’m looking forward to being part of something supportive and real.

Outside work, I enjoy digital art and hitting the gym. I’m focused on learning, improving, and making a positive impact. Driving here is a long-term plan, and I’m ready to give it my all.

Trinity joined CS Ellis after working in hotel administration, where she developed a love for being the first point of contact for customers and keeping operations running seamlessly behind the scenes. Over time, she took on more responsibility — eventually managing the hotel — and built strong skills in organisation, communication, and customer service.

She brings that same people-first approach to her role here, taking pride in making sure everything runs smoothly and that customers feel genuinely looked after. Calm, detail-focused, and always welcoming, she’s excited to keep developing her skills and play a key part in keeping operations moving.

Before logistics, I was a pond builder, driving all over the country installing bespoke swim ponds. I’ve met some amazing people along the way, and it was friends who were drivers that first encouraged me to get my Class 2 licence.

If I could master one new skill, it would be CAT C+E training to expand my driving experience. The part of my job that gives me the most satisfaction is simple: getting the job done smoothly and efficiently.

Maybe later in my career I’d love to try driver training—seeing the job from a different perspective would be fascinating.

The workday habit that keeps me sane? My wife sending me pictures of our little girl—it’s the highlight of any busy day.

I’ve been working at Edith Weston Camp since July through an agency, but logistics has always run in my family. Before this, I worked on the shop floor at B&M, so I’ve always been in customer-facing, front-line roles.

The biggest influence on the way I work? My parents. They’ve always stuck at their jobs, showing resilience and dedication, which has really shaped how I approach my work.

Something people are often surprised to learn about me? I learned to sign at age two because my mum has hearing aids.

The workday habit that keeps me sane? Music, good people, and conversation—they make even the busiest days enjoyable.

I’ve spent the past ten years moving from hospitality and pub management into warehousing roles, gaining experience in people management, organisation, and hands-on shop-floor work. I found myself drawn to logistics because I enjoy fast-moving environments where I can step in, support the team, and keep things running smoothly.

I joined CS Ellis because the scale felt right. I’ve worked for big companies where you become just another number, and that never suited me. Outside work, people are often surprised to learn I’m artistic. I studied graphic design at college and still enjoy creative projects when I get the chance.

We’re pleased to welcome Claudiu to our workshop team. With years of experience as an LGV technician, Claudiu has a genuine passion for keeping lorries on the road.

He began his journey into mechanics early, learning from his older brother across every department and gaining experience with over 1,000 lorries. Claudiu credits this broad training for the skills he uses every day.

Diagnostics is his favorite “tool,” helping him identify problems before making repairs. His ideal day is seeing a tricky lorry fixed and back on the road safely. Claudiu is already bringing his knowledge and positive attitude to the team, and we’re delighted to have him on board.

Joseph discovered at 34 that office life wasn’t for him, and he’s now been driving professionally for three years. Previously a driver out of Bardon Quarry, he thrives on variety and challenge—tippers are familiar territory, and in this role he’s taking on curtainsiders for the first time.

If he could take a break to drive anywhere in the world, it would be South Georgia—a dream destination he researched after a heated political conversation.

Off-duty, Joseph channels his energy into volunteering with the RAF Air Cadets, adventurous pursuits like climbing and kayaking, and spending quality time with his two-year-old. We’re excited to have someone with his curiosity, drive, and focus joining our team.

Tom studied Business Management at university, graduating with a 2:2, and has already gained experience in cold stores, transport offices, and family-run operations. He’s joined our warehouse team to see if logistics is the career path for him

Outside of work, Tom is a keen golfer with a 15 handicap and enjoys taking on new challenges. He once faced a two-year hearing loss while at college, relying on lip reading to get by, and is now fully recovered. He’s inspired by his grandfather, who built several businesses, and dreams of playing golf in Dubai if money and time were no object.
