South East

A warehouse recruitment desk for Chichester

Warehouse leadership is judged on the floor: pick rates, accuracy, safety and the people who turn up tomorrow.

Chichester sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. 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.

With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover serving the region, site managers across the South East can be drawn from a wide commute.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

Warehouses run best with stable leadership. Frequent changes at the top show up in accuracy, safety and staff turnover.

Strong warehouse leaders value investment in their team, sensible targets and a head office that listens.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • Daily volumes and peak volumes
  • Headcount, including agency labour at peak
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
