Warehouse recruitment for Durham operators who need leaders to hit pick rates, accuracy and safety targets year after year.
Warehouse leadership is judged on the floor: pick rates, accuracy, safety and the people who turn up tomorrow.
From port and bulk freight to automotive supply chains, employers around Durham compete for experienced permanent logistics people. Across the North East, warehouse leaders are in demand at sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19.
A warehouse offer competes with every other site within reach. We help set salary, shift allowance and bonus so it lands first time.
With the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport serving the region, site managers across the North East can be drawn from a wide commute.
Leadership roles across goods-in, storage, picking and despatch.
We check that the shift and the journey to your site in Durham work for the candidate before they reach your shortlist.
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.
