The fulfilment, returns and despatch leaders who keep Burnley online orders moving.
People who have run a fulfilment centre through peak are in demand every autumn. We approach them before the rush.
Logistics around Burnley is powered by the M6/M62 corridor, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and one of the UK's densest warehousing clusters. Across the North West, fulfilment leaders are needed at sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal.
A fulfilment manager who leaves before peak hands the plan, the rota and the carrier relationships to someone new.
Fulfilment demand across the North West follows retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics, so recruitment for peak starts early.
Fulfilment, returns, peak and systems roles.
We ask what happened to accuracy, service and headcount at the candidate's last peak.
We look for leaders who manage carrier collections and cut-offs as part of the job, not as a daily surprise.
Each candidate comes with notes on volumes, accuracy and the systems they know.
Indicative permanent salaries in Burnley run from around £28k for team leaders up to £60k+ for heads of fulfilment.
We benchmark against current offers from comparable fulfilment operations. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach strong candidates early, before peak makes a move impossible.
A short list with notes on each candidate's order profile, systems and peak results.
We stay in touch through the new leader's first peak.
Interim managers can steady one peak. A permanent hire improves every one after it.
We plan start dates around peak on both sides, so nobody has to leave mid-season.
