The managers and supervisors who keep Penarth distribution sites safe, accurate and on time.
Warehouse leadership is judged on the floor: pick rates, accuracy, safety and the people who turn up tomorrow.
Penarth sits in Wales, where the M4 corridor, the ABP ports and a strong manufacturing base anchor the logistics labour market. Across Wales, warehouse leaders are in demand at sites such as the South Wales M4 distribution belt, the ABP ports and the Deeside Industrial Park.
Ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns operations each need a different kind of leader. We recruit each one differently.
Warehouse demand across Wales tracks port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs, so peak recruitment starts early.
