Permanent warehouse and distribution recruitment across southern Scotland, from shift supervisors to general managers.
We look for leaders who have run an operation like yours: the same volumes, the same shift pattern, the same kind of stock.
Across southern Scotland, much of the warehouse work sits at sites such as the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M). We search for leaders who already know that market.
We ask candidates about the volumes, the WMS, the headcount and the shift pattern they have managed before we mention your vacancy.
Across southern Scotland, warehouse leaders are hired by cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains.
