The managers and supervisors who keep Lewisham distribution sites safe, accurate and on time.
The best warehouse managers are usually busy running a site. We find them there, not on job boards.
Lewisham is served by the capital's dense network of fulfilment, parcel and airfreight operations, which makes good permanent people both vital and hard to keep. 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.
Large sites such as the Heathrow airfreight belt, Park Royal, Enfield and the Thames Gateway often recruit at the same time, which pushes up the price of experienced managers.
Permanent warehouse and distribution roles, from the first shift supervisor to the general manager.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months in the job, while a new manager settles in.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lewisham run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
Warehouse pay in London & the South East 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.
Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
A short list with notes on each candidate's scale, systems and results.
We arrange interviews and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
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.
