Job description

For over 25 years, The Wooden Floor Store has supplied customers across the UK and Ireland with high-quality flooring backed by honest advice and exceptional service. Operating across Scotland and England, we continue to expand our retail, warehousing, and logistics operations.

Innovation – Embracing smarter systems, technology, and new ways of working

Service – Supporting colleagues and customers through excellent stock control

Expertise – Understanding our products, processes, and systems in depth

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a passive or purely administrative stock role. We are looking for a Stock Controller who can own and develop the stock control function, combining hands‑on accuracy with a clear view of how systems, processes, and reporting should evolve as the business grows.

This is a permanent role, offering stability and the opportunity to take real ownership of stock accuracy, visibility, and process improvement across the business.

• Use Unleashed (or similar stock management software) daily for stock control and reporting
• Support forecasting and demand planning using system data
• Improve stock organisation to support accuracy, traceability, and visibility across sites
• Support improvements in supplier ETA tracking and internal communication
• Work closely with Finance, Warehouse, Area Managers, and Store Teams to ensure stock information is understood and acted upon

Experience

• Experience in stock control or inventory management
