We recruit warehouse managers, shift managers and team leaders for Newark-on-Trent and the East Midlands, screened on the sites they have actually run.
Distribution sites run on routine and pressure in equal measure. We recruit people who handle both.
Newark-on-Trent draws on the East Midlands' deep warehousing and distribution labour market, centred on the M1 and A14. Across the East Midlands, warehouse leaders are in demand at sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1.
A shift manager who leaves in the first year costs a search, a handover and months of lost momentum on the floor.
With the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal serving the region, site managers across the East Midlands can be drawn from a wide commute.
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 Newark-on-Trent run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
Managers of large or automated sites usually earn more than those on smaller manual sites, but local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Candidates who are not looking are approached with the details that matter to them.
Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We help agree salary, shift allowance and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
The best shift managers become the next site managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
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.
