Focus on.... Warehousing, Supply Chain & 3rd Party Logistics

The market
The last ten years has seen continuous growth in the UK warehousing and logistics sector, with an increase in the need for stock movement and storage. The home delivery market has performed particularly well and is still growing, notwithstanding the pressures brought about by the credit crunch.

There is still a demand for continuous improvement, with specialist multinational third party logistics providers becoming integrally involved in customer supply chain management as well as in value engineering for their clients. Logistics and warehousing businesses are continuously required to deliver cost savings in contracts, with demanding KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and financial penalties for underperformance.

Continuous improvement of logistic performance makes it vital that such businesses employ only the best people, who are capable of making a real difference, driving efficiency and growth, particularly during the economic downturn.
