We recruit warehouse managers, shift managers and team leaders for Swindon and the South West, screened on the sites they have actually run.
Warehouse leadership is judged on the floor: pick rates, accuracy, safety and the people who turn up tomorrow.
Sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 run days, nights and continental shifts. We match managers to the pattern they will actually keep.
Ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns operations each need a different kind of leader. We recruit each one differently.
Across the South West, warehouse leaders are hired by port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
The people who run the floor and the people who improve it.
We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.
We benchmark salary, shift allowance and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months in the job, while a new manager settles in.
Indicative permanent salaries in Swindon run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the sites within a realistic commute and the people running them.
Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We keep in touch through the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the site needs someone to own the results.
Notice periods for senior warehouse roles can be long, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
A strong warehouse brief covers:
