Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Bourne fleets.
Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.
Across the East Midlands, many transport offices sit at sites such as DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Magna Park and the big-shed parks on the M1 and A14. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
A transport offer competes with every haulier and 3PL within reach. We help set salary, on-call pay and bonus so it lands first time.
Across the East Midlands, planners and transport managers are hired by national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bourne run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare on-call pay, bonus, hybrid working and the size of the fleet they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
A short list with notes on each candidate's fleet, systems and results.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
For Bourne 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.
