Recruiting warehouse managers in Widnes

Warehouse leadership is judged on the floor: pick rates, accuracy, safety and the people who turn up tomorrow.

Across the North West, much of the warehouse work sits at sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal. We search for leaders who already know that market.

Opening a new site or taking on a new contract? We can recruit a full leadership team, from general manager to team leaders.

With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, site managers across the North West can be drawn from a wide commute.

Before we start searching

An empty leadership seat costs more than the advert: overtime, agency spend and pressure on the rest of the team.

We ask candidates why they left their last site. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • The shift pattern and how the team is structured
  • The key performance measures for the role
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
