We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Melksham and the South West fleets compliant.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Operations at sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
Night planning, early starts and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Across the South West, planners and transport managers are hired by port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Melksham run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Our benchmarks use current offers for comparable fleets rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.
Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.
