Devon & Cornwall

Shift and site leaders in Tavistock

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 Devon & Cornwall are served by the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Good managers weigh the commute and the shift as carefully as the salary.

When the Tavistock market is thin for warehouse talent, we widen the search along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.

Warehouse leadership roles across Devon & Cornwall are spread across sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates.

Your brief

Setting up the search

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

Team leaders are often promoted from the floor. We recruit for both routes into management.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The site, its size and what it stores
  • Headcount, including agency labour at peak
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • Your interview process and any site visit

How do you screen warehouse candidates?

We check the sites they have run, the volumes and systems they managed, their safety approach and right to work, then talk to each candidate about your operation.

How long does a warehouse manager search take?

Can you recruit a leadership team for a new site?

Yes. We can recruit the general manager, shift managers and team leaders together, with start dates planned around go-live.

Do you recruit health and safety managers for warehouses?
