We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Felixstowe and the East of England fleets compliant.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Across Suffolk & the Haven ports, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Port of Felixstowe, the A14 freight corridor and the Haven Gateway parks. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
Across Suffolk & the Haven ports, planners and transport managers are hired by port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, on-call pay and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
A short list of people who fit the fleet, with notes on systems, network and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Felixstowe run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport managers usually earn more than planners and national networks more than local ones. Local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
