Local Logistics Recruitment in Essex
Essex is one of the UK’s busiest port counties. DP World London Gateway and the Port of Tilbury sit on the Thames in Thurrock, Harwich handles ferry freight to the Netherlands, and Stansted is a major cargo airport. The M25, A12, A13 and A127 link them to large distribution sites.
Logistics recruitment in Essex works best when employers are clear about port passes, shifts and licences, because port and airport work never stops.
