Hiring a warehouse manager in Merton? We map the market, approach people who are not looking and send a shortlist worth meeting.
Every warehouse candidate we put forward is screened on the sites they have run and the results they delivered.
Distribution sites across London & the South East are served by the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Good managers weigh the commute and the shift as carefully as the salary.
A shift manager who leaves in the first year costs a search, a handover and months of lost momentum on the floor.
The strongest warehouse candidates across London & the South East are usually already running sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots.
Permanent warehouse roles matched to site, shift and volume.
We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.
Safety record and approach are part of every warehouse screen, not an afterthought at interview.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months in the job, while a new manager settles in.
Indicative permanent salaries in Merton run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's scale, systems and results.
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.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the site needs someone to own the results.
Warehouse managers who leave early often cite the hours, the commute or the gap between the advert and the reality. We raise all three first.
