Direct Distribution is a logistics and marketing support company based in Scotland, providing distribution and event support services for clients across the culture, tourism, leisure, and communications sectors.

I supported operations across 17 live events around Scotland, including large-scale events like the UCI Championships and the World Pipe Band Championships, alongside city events such as Mela and various charity runs. The work was fast-paced and hands-on: managing logistics and print distribution, running large-scale warehouse operations, and solving problems in real time as they came up on-site.

A recurring part of the role was working directly with client systems and stakeholders in the field — including configuring FirstBus devices to align with live schedules, and travelling to unfamiliar locations across Scotland to pitch and onboard new business sites. I was responsible for planning efficient delivery logistics for these new locations and managing inventory flow across the network, often making decisions on the ground with limited time and shifting constraints.
