Warehouse Recruitment in Duns

Permanent warehouse and distribution recruitment across southern Scotland, from shift supervisors to general managers.

southern Scotland

Duns warehouse recruitment, done properly

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

Distribution sites across southern Scotland are served by the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. Good managers weigh the commute and the shift as carefully as the salary.

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

Experienced supervisors at sites such as the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M) rarely need to look for work, so we approach them directly.
