From night planners to network managers, we find permanent transport office people for Havering operations.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Havering sits inside the UK's largest and most pressured logistics labour market, where last-mile, airfreight and grocery fulfilment compete hard for the same people. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
