The managers and supervisors who keep Sutton-in-Ashfield distribution sites safe, accurate and on time.
A new site manager changes the culture of a warehouse within weeks. Getting the hire right matters more than filling it fast.
Distribution sites across the East Midlands are served by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Good managers weigh the commute and the shift as carefully as the salary.
When the Sutton-in-Ashfield market is thin for warehouse talent, we widen the search along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.
Large sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1 often recruit at the same time, which pushes up the price of experienced managers.
