Permanent warehouse and distribution recruitment across Warwickshire & the West Midlands, from shift supervisors to general managers.

Warwickshire & the West Midlands

A warehouse recruitment desk for Coventry

Distribution sites run on routine and pressure in equal measure. We recruit people who handle both.

Sites such as Prologis Park Ryton, the Gateway and Whitley sites and the M6/M69 distribution corridor run days, nights and continental shifts. We match managers to the pattern they will actually keep.

A shift manager who leaves in the first year costs a search, a handover and months of lost momentum on the floor.

Across Warwickshire & the West Midlands, warehouse leaders are hired by automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.

What you can expect

Leaders who stay and improve the site

Site results first

We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.

Health and safety on the list

Safety record and approach are part of every warehouse screen, not an afterthought at interview.

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months in the job, while a new manager settles in.

What good managers cost

What warehouse leaders earn in Coventry

Indicative permanent salaries in Coventry run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.

Warehouse pay in the West Midlands moves with the size of the site, the shift pattern and the sector: nights and chilled operations usually pay more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The site brief

Volumes, systems, shift pattern, headcount and the problem the new leader needs to solve.

Market mapping

We map the sites within a realistic commute and the people running them.

Screening

Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

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.

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:

  • The key performance measures for the role
  • Salary, bonus and shift allowance
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • Your interview process and any site visit
