Warehouse Recruitment in Middleton

Permanent warehouse and distribution recruitment across the North West, from shift supervisors to general managers.

North West

A warehouse recruitment desk for Middleton

Distribution sites run on routine and pressure in equal measure. We recruit people who handle both.

Across the North West, much of the warehouse work sits at sites such as Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City. We search for leaders who already know that market.

Night shifts, weekend cover and continental patterns suit different people. The shift pattern is one of the first things we ask about.

With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, site managers across the North West can be drawn from a wide commute.

How it works

Our process, step by step

Market mapping

A short list with notes on each candidate's scale, systems and results.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

An empty leadership seat costs more than the advert: overtime, agency spend and pressure on the rest of the team.

Strong warehouse leaders value investment in their team, sensible targets and a head office that listens.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • The key performance measures for the role
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
  • Your interview process and any site visit
