Transport Planning Recruitment in Horsham

We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Horsham and the South East fleets compliant.

South East

Horsham transport planning recruitment

Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.

Horsham sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. We recruit the transport office people who keep that freight moving.

Taking on a new contract? We can recruit the planners and the transport manager together so the traffic office is ready on day one.

Across the South East, planners and transport managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

Interviews

We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.

The offer

We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.

Settling in

We check in during the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

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.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
  • Your interview process and any planning exercise
