We recruit the people who plan the routes, run the traffic office and keep Wilmslow and the North West fleets compliant.
Every transport candidate we put forward has been checked on qualifications, systems and the fleets they have run.
Wilmslow draws on the North West's deep distribution, port and fulfilment labour market. 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 North West, planners and transport managers are hired by port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics.
Planning, scheduling, compliance and fleet roles.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wilmslow run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare on-call pay, bonus, hybrid working and the size of the fleet they will run. 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.
Systems, fleet size, network type, compliance record and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
A transport manager who knows the fleet's history spots maintenance and compliance risks earlier.
When a transport role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the hours, the pay or the systems are the obstacle. Then we tell you.
