South West

A transport recruitment desk for Warminster

Strong planners are rarely out of work, so the search reaches people who are not looking.

Warminster draws on the South West's distribution and port-logistics base, concentrated around the M5 corridor. 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.

Across the South West, planners and transport managers are hired by grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs.

Roles on our desk

Planning, compliance and fleet roles

Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.

What you can expect

Planners who stay and improve the plan

Matched to the network

Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.

Compliance mindset

We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.

What good planners cost

What transport planners and managers earn in Warminster

Indicative permanent salaries in Warminster run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.

Transport managers usually earn more than planners and national networks more than local ones. Local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A permanent planner learns your customers, your drivers and your routes. That knowledge makes every week's plan better.

Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
