We recruit warehouse managers, shift managers and team leaders for Cambridge and the East of England, screened on the sites they have actually run.
Permanent warehouse hires should improve the site, not just keep it ticking over.
Cambridge draws on the East of England's port, forwarding and customs talent, concentrated along the A14 and M11. We recruit the permanent leaders who keep those sites performing.
Ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns operations each need a different kind of leader. We recruit each one differently.
Warehouse demand across the East of England tracks port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs, so peak recruitment starts early.
The people who run the floor and the people who improve it.
Most strong warehouse managers are not looking. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
We benchmark salary, shift allowance and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
A short list of people who fit the site, each with notes on scale, systems and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cambridge 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.
Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We keep in touch through the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
The best shift managers become the next site managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the site as it runs on a normal week, not the best one.
