Logistics Jobs in the North East: How We Help
Why the North East Matters to UK Freight
The North East has deep-water ports on the Tyne, the Tees and at Blyth, and good road links south on the A1(M) and A19. Car manufacturing around Sunderland relies on suppliers delivering parts just in time, which creates steady demand for drivers, forklift operators and planners.
Many sites run around the clock, so logistics recruitment in the North East works best when roles are clear about shift patterns, travel at shift change and pay for nights and weekends.
