Hiring a warehouse manager in Andover? We map the market, approach people who are not looking and send a shortlist worth meeting.
A new site manager changes the culture of a warehouse within weeks. Getting the hire right matters more than filling it fast.
Distribution sites across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Good managers weigh the commute and the shift as carefully as the salary.
Ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns operations each need a different kind of leader. We recruit each one differently.
Warehouse demand across the South East tracks retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs, so peak recruitment starts early.
Leadership roles across goods-in, storage, picking and despatch.
Safety record and approach are part of every warehouse screen, not an afterthought at interview.
A short list of people who fit the site, each with notes on scale, systems and results.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months in the job, while a new manager settles in.
Indicative permanent salaries in Andover run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
Base salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare shift allowance, bonus, car allowance and the hours they will actually work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the sites within a realistic commute and the people running them.
We arrange interviews and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help agree salary, shift allowance and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
The best shift managers become the next site managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
When a role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the cause is the shift, the salary or the site. Then we say which.
