We recruit warehouse managers, shift managers and team leaders for Gateshead and the North East, screened on the sites they have actually run.
A new site manager changes the culture of a warehouse within weeks. Getting the hire right matters more than filling it fast.
Warehouse vacancies across the North East come from automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each needs leaders who can hold standards through peak.
Opening a new site or taking on a new contract? We can recruit a full leadership team, from general manager to team leaders.
Large sites such as the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks often recruit at the same time, which pushes up the price of experienced managers.
From team leaders to site and operations managers.
We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.
Volumes, headcount, systems and stock profile: we match leaders to sites like yours, not just to a job title.
A short list of people who fit the site, each with notes on scale, systems and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Gateshead run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
Where an offer is likely to fall short of the local market, we tell you before the first interview is booked. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Candidates who are not looking are approached with the details that matter to them.
We help agree salary, shift allowance and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We keep in touch through the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
A leader who knows the site's history makes better decisions about people, layout and process.
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:
Loading live roles…
We check the sites they have run, the volumes and systems they managed, their safety approach and right to work, then talk to each candidate about your operation.
It depends on seniority, shift pattern and how competitive the local market is. You get a realistic timeline in the first conversation.
Yes. Our e-commerce fulfilment desk specialises in pick-pack-despatch, automation and peak planning roles.
Yes. We recruit health and safety managers and advisers who know warehouse and materials-handling risks.
Realistic targets, a stable team, investment in the site and a fair package. We check all four before recommending a move.
