E-commerce Fulfilment Recruitment in Chester

Hiring a fulfilment centre manager in Chester? We check the order volumes, accuracy and peak plans they have delivered first.

North West

Permanent heads of fulfilment for Chester

We look for leaders who have run an operation like yours: a similar order profile, similar systems and similar peaks.

Fulfilment sites across the North West rely on the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool to reach their customers. Leaders who plan around carrier collection times protect the cut-off.

Peak means recruiting, training and rostering a large seasonal workforce. We check that each candidate has led one.

Across the North West, fulfilment and returns leaders are hired by retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.

Positions we place

From team leaders to heads of fulfilment

Fulfilment roles for retailers, brands, marketplaces and fulfilment providers.

What sets the desk apart

A fulfilment desk, not a generalist agency

We confirm the WMS and any automation candidates have run, so there is no hidden learning curve.

Rotas settled early

Nights, weekends and peak overtime are agreed before interviews, so nobody is surprised in November.

A shortlist with evidence

Each candidate comes with notes on volumes, accuracy and the systems they know.

What the market pays

What fulfilment leaders earn in Chester

Your brief

What we ask at the start

A permanent fulfilment leader learns your customers, your carriers and your peak. Each season they plan it better.

Strong fulfilment leaders value good systems, a realistic peak plan and a business that invests in its team.

A strong fulfilment brief covers:

  • Daily orders on a normal day and at peak
  • The order profile: parcels, baskets, bulky items or returns
  • Carrier cut-offs and collection times
  • Who the role reports to
