We recruit warehouse managers, shift managers and team leaders for Penrith and the North West, screened on the sites they have actually run.

Cumbria

Penrith warehouse recruitment, done properly

We look for leaders who have run an operation like yours: the same volumes, the same shift pattern, the same kind of stock.

Operations near Penrith serve food producers, nuclear and marine employers and hauliers running long Anglo-Scottish legs. We recruit the permanent leaders who keep those sites performing.

Opening a new site or taking on a new contract? We can recruit a full leadership team, from general manager to team leaders.

Across Cumbria, warehouse leaders are hired by chilled food distribution, defence and marine manufacturing, energy supply chains and Anglo-Scottish trunking operators.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

Market mapping

We map the sites within a realistic commute and the people running them.

Site visits and interviews

We arrange interviews and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Settling in

We keep in touch through the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

A permanent site leader builds the team, the routines and the standards. That value grows every month they stay.

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.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • Daily volumes and peak volumes
  • Headcount, including agency labour at peak
  • Salary, bonus and shift allowance
  • Your interview process and any site visit
