We recruit warehouse managers, shift managers and team leaders for Arnold and the East Midlands, screened on the sites they have actually run.
Distribution sites run on routine and pressure in equal measure. We recruit people who handle both.
Distribution sites across the East Midlands are served by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. 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.
Experienced supervisors at sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub rarely need to look for work, so we approach them directly.
The people who run the floor and the people who improve it.
We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.
For a new site or contract we can recruit the whole team, with start dates planned around go-live.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months in the job, while a new manager settles in.
Indicative permanent salaries in Arnold 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.
Volumes, systems, shift pattern, headcount and the problem the new leader needs to solve.
Candidates who are not looking are approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange interviews and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
A permanent site leader builds the team, the routines and the standards. That value grows every month they stay.
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.
A strong warehouse brief covers:
Loading live roles…
Site and warehouse managers, operations and shift managers, team leaders, inventory and stock control leads, goods-in and despatch leads, continuous improvement managers and health and safety managers.
It depends on seniority, shift pattern and how competitive the local market is. You get a realistic timeline in the first conversation.
Yes. We recruit health and safety managers and advisers who know warehouse and materials-handling risks.
Yes. Tell us the automation on site so we look for leaders who have run a similar operation.
Realistic targets, a stable team, investment in the site and a fair package. We check all four before recommending a move.
