Transport planning recruitment for Tewkesbury operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
Transport planning is judged on cost per drop, vehicle utilisation and on-time delivery. We recruit people who move those numbers.
Transport employers across the South West include port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
Operators at sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country compete for the same experienced planners, which is why pay moves quickly.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tewkesbury 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.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
For Tewkesbury operators with a growing fleet, the right permanent planner can pay for the role in miles saved.
Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.
