Recruiting transport managers in Long Eaton

A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.

Across the East Midlands, many transport offices sit at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall. We search for planners and managers who already know that market.

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

Transport demand across the East Midlands follows big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
