Permanent warehouse and distribution recruitment across southern Scotland, from shift supervisors to general managers.
We look for leaders who have run an operation like yours: the same volumes, the same shift pattern, the same kind of stock.
Stranraer sits in southern Scotland, on the A74(M) and A75 routes that carry Anglo-Scottish and Irish Sea freight rather than Central Belt distribution traffic. Across southern Scotland, warehouse leaders are in demand at sites such as the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M).
Ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns operations each need a different kind of leader. We recruit each one differently.
Across southern Scotland, warehouse leaders are hired by cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains.
From team leaders to site and operations managers.
We check that the shift and the journey to your site in Stranraer 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.
