As general manager of supply chain, he oversaw the operation projects that provide customers with the experience they have with the Foodstuffs brands of today. Starting his Foodstuffs career as a management cadet back in 1978 in Christchurch, Mullins worked in a range of roles training in areas of sales desk, warehouse operations, Cash‘N‘Carry, and general clerical duties. “Looking back on my time at Foodstuffs South Island, I was fortunate enough to be able to work in a variety of roles, upskilling and working my way around the business,” Mullins, of Fendalton, said. “In the 80s, I was given the opportunity to move into a shipping and purchasing role, later taking up the role of wholesale operations manager in 1985. “It was the number of different roles I took on in the 80s that has helped to shape my knowledge and understanding of how the business continues to operate so successfully today.” The end of the 1980s saw a merger between Foodstuffs Christchurch and Foodstuffs Otago, forming Foodstuffs South Island. For Mullins, this meant further opportunities as he moved into a new corporate executive role. “During my time at Foodstuffs Christchurch and later Foodstuffs South Island I’ve enjoyed watching the business transform, helping to integrate new systems, operations and technology throughout our supply chain,” he said. “It has been incredible seeing the business grow over the years with new retail stores, technology advancements, and larger premises for more capacity to store food for extended periods of time.” The year 2003 saw Mullins move into his role of general manager wholesale operations and procurement, and in 2010 he was given the role of general manager of supply chain and was appointed an adviser to the board. Said Foodstuffs South Island chief executive Steve Anderson: VARIETY: After 43 years, supply chain general manager John Mullins is retiring from his crucial role at Foodstuffs South Island. “I’ve had the privilege of working with John over the past 20 years and seen first-hand the instrumental role he played in developing and growing our supply chain. “Some highlights for me include John setting up our procurement and inventory systems, developing and launching our warehouse management system and its ongoing enhancements, not forgetting the many other projects he’s tackled over the years.” Over the last couple of decades, highlights for Mullins include the opening of the Hornby chilled and frozen distribution centre in 2000, the opening of the Hornby ambient DC in 2007 and further expansion in 2014, and the launch of Foodstuffs South Island’s transport company, to name a few. Last year he oversaw the opening of the new Hornby temperature-controlled DC to name a few. The opening was a highlight for Mullins as it upscaled Foodstuffs’ operations with their new world-class chilled and frozen distribution centre. This meant they were able to increase the volume, range of product and services required for them to continue feeding the South Island. The building and opening of the new DC was a massive project which created over 100 additional jobs and meant upscaling operations to provide deliveries to our retail stores seven days a week. Although the everyday sounds of forklifts whirling and trucks reversing will become but a thing of the past, upon retirement, Mullins looks forward to continuing his outdoor pursuits, giving back to the community with local governance roles and spending time with his family.
