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

North East

Peterlee warehouse recruitment, done properly

Every warehouse candidate we put forward is screened on the sites they have run and the results they delivered.

Distribution sites across the North East are served by the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. Good managers weigh the commute and the shift as carefully as the salary.

Ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns operations each need a different kind of leader. We recruit each one differently.

Large sites such as the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks often recruit at the same time, which pushes up the price of experienced managers.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

Warehouses run best with stable leadership. Frequent changes at the top show up in accuracy, safety and staff turnover.

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:

  • The shift pattern and how the team is structured
  • Headcount, including agency labour at peak
  • The key performance measures for the role
  • Salary, bonus and shift allowance
