Hiring a warehouse manager in Nottingham? We map the market, approach people who are not looking and send a shortlist worth meeting.
Warehouse leadership is judged on the floor: pick rates, accuracy, safety and the people who turn up tomorrow.
Nottingham anchors the northern East Midlands, minutes from the East Midlands Gateway rail-freight terminal and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. Across Nottinghamshire, warehouse leaders are in demand at sites such as the M1 corridor parks, East Midlands Gateway and the distribution sites around Junction 26.
We ask candidates about the volumes, the WMS, the headcount and the shift pattern they have managed before we mention your vacancy.
With the M1, A52 and A453, East Midlands Airport's air-freight hub and the East Midlands Gateway rail terminal serving the region, site managers across Nottinghamshire can be drawn from a wide commute.
Leadership roles across goods-in, storage, picking and despatch.
We check that the shift and the journey to your site in Nottingham work for the candidate before they reach your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, shift allowance and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
A short list of people who fit the site, each with notes on scale, systems and results.

Volumes, systems, shift pattern, headcount and the problem the new leader needs to solve.
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.
