Northampton is the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics — DIRFT and Magna Park put some of the country's largest national distribution centres on its doorstep, right at the centre of the Golden Triangle.
We recruit throughout Northamptonshire — from DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Brackmills, Swan Valley and nearby Magna Park — for businesses connected by the M1, A14 and A45, with East Midlands Airport and DIRFT's rail freight terminal close by. Typical employers we partner with include big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
