Darius Januskevicius, who runs the evening shift at Dorel’s Thetford distribution centre, has been announced as ‘Warehouse Person of the Year’.
Darius received his award from journalist and television personality John Sargeant at an event at London’s Dorchester Hotel on 30 June 2009.
Darius is employed by Century Logistics, who provide logistics services for Dorel, the nursery products manufacturer and owner of the Quinny, Maxi-Cosi and Safety 1st brands. He works full-time on Dorel business, ensuring that orders arrive with retailers accurately and on-time.
This year marked the 10th anniversary of the annual awards which are organised by UKWA, the United Kingdom Warehousing Association. They recognise excellence in what is a vital part of any product manufacturer’s operation.
Darius joined Century as a Warehouseman in 2005, having moved to England from the municipality of Marijampol in Lithuania, where he had studied Production Technology. He has progressed from Warehouseman to Team Leader and then Supervisor of the Evening Shift.
His team is responsible for the picking, packing and collation of over 16,000 pallets per year to more than 600 Independent Nursery retailers throughout the UK and Ireland. Darius has ensured that standards of picking accuracy and despatch deadlines are maintained, despite Dorel’s considerable growth which has extended the operation over four sites.
Andrew Ratcliffe, Managing Director of Dorel (UK) says: “No matter how great our products are, customers won’t buy them if they’re not available with retailers. The work that Darius does is vital to our continued success, and we’re delighted to see him win this well-deserved reward”.
