East of England

Shift and site leaders in Brentwood

Permanent warehouse hires should improve the site, not just keep it ticking over.

Brentwood sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. We recruit the permanent leaders who keep those sites performing.

Opening a new site or taking on a new contract? We can recruit a full leadership team, from general manager to team leaders.

Large sites such as the A1(M) and A421 corridors and the Bedfordshire distribution estates often recruit at the same time, which pushes up the price of experienced managers.
