Leaders for ambient, chilled and e-commerce warehouses in and around Watford, recruited onto your payroll.

East of England

Warehouse leaders for Watford sites

A new site manager changes the culture of a warehouse within weeks. Getting the hire right matters more than filling it fast.

Across the East of England, much of the warehouse work sits at sites such as the A14 and A11 corridors, the Port of Felixstowe and Stansted airfreight. We search for leaders who already know that market.

A shift manager who leaves in the first year costs a search, a handover and months of lost momentum on the floor.

Across the East of England, warehouse leaders are hired by container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

A leader who knows the site's history makes better decisions about people, layout and process.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the site as it runs on a normal week, not the best one.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • Headcount, including agency labour at peak
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
