Permanent warehouse and distribution recruitment across the East Midlands, from shift supervisors to general managers.
Permanent warehouse hires should improve the site, not just keep it ticking over.
Sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub 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.
Warehouse demand across the East Midlands tracks national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations, so peak recruitment starts early.
From team leaders to site and operations managers.
Most strong warehouse managers are not looking. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Safety record and approach are part of every warehouse screen, not an afterthought at interview.
A short list of people who fit the site, each with notes on scale, systems and results.
Indicative permanent salaries in Grantham run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
Warehouse pay in the East 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.
Volumes, systems, shift pattern, headcount and the problem the new leader needs to solve.
Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We arrange interviews and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the site needs someone to own the results.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the site as it runs on a normal week, not the best one.
