Warehouse recruitment for Kettering operators who need leaders to hit pick rates, accuracy and safety targets year after year.
A new site manager changes the culture of a warehouse within weeks. Getting the hire right matters more than filling it fast.
Logistics around Kettering is anchored by the Golden Triangle's national distribution centres and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. We recruit the permanent leaders who keep those sites performing.
Ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns operations each need a different kind of leader. We recruit each one differently.
Across the East Midlands, warehouse leaders are hired by big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
Warehouse roles for every kind of operation: ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns.
We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.
Most strong warehouse managers are not looking. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
