Local Logistics Recruitment in Suffolk
Suffolk is home to the Port of Felixstowe, which handles more containers than any other UK port. Hundreds of hauliers, forwarders and warehouses work along the A14 between Felixstowe and Ipswich, and food and farm supply chains spread across the rest of the county.
Logistics recruitment in Suffolk works best when employers are clear about port passes, shifts and licences, because container work runs around the clock.
