Hiring a transport manager in Ashford? We check the Transport Manager CPC first, then the experience behind it.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Fleets across the South East depend on the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.
A planner who leaves after a few months takes the knowledge of your routes and customers with them. Getting the hire right protects both.
Transport demand across the South East follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
The people who plan the work and the people who keep it legal.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ashford run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, hours, on-call, holiday and the culture of the traffic office. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
For Ashford operators with a growing fleet, the right permanent planner can pay for the role in miles saved.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
