Carrington sits within Greater Manchester's logistics network, with warehousing and transport operations around Carrington Business Park and the former Shell site. WSUK supplies vetted, referenced logistics staff — drivers, warehouse operatives, FLT operators, planners and managers — on permanent and contract terms, from single vacancies to volume-hiring campaigns.
WSUK recruits logistics staff for Carrington employers — HGV (C+E/C) and van drivers, warehouse operatives, FLT operators, transport planners, supervisors and operations managers — on permanent and contract terms, for single vacancies or high-volume campaigns. From sites around Carrington Business Park and the former Shell site to operations reached via A6144 to M60 (J8), we deliver vetted, referenced shortlists.
Carrington is one of Greater Manchester's biggest industrial regeneration areas. From 1947 the reclaimed peat of Carrington Moss was developed into the Shell petrochemical site, which produced polythene and polystyrene until its closure in 2007, and LyondellBasell still runs a chemical plant there. The combined-cycle Carrington Power Station, completed in 2016, can generate up to 880 MW. Carrington Business Park and the surrounding industrial land now house warehousing, manufacturing, waste and recycling and energy businesses, and the wider New Carrington allocation plans around 750,000 square metres of employment floorspace alongside new housing. The A6144 is the main route in, connecting to M60 junction 8 via Sale and west to Partington, where Saica runs a paper recycling plant beside the Manchester Ship Canal. Road access has historically been limited by the canal and the chemical works.
Labour demand at Carrington follows plant shutdowns and maintenance cycles at the chemical and energy sites, and new build-outs as the New Carrington development brings extra warehouse and industrial space into use. For employers that means competing for the same drivers, operatives and supervisors, so filling roles and keeping people are both real challenges. WSUK recruits Class 1 and Class 2 drivers, van drivers, warehouse pickers, packers and loaders, FLT and VNA operators, transport planners, shift supervisors and operations managers on permanent and contract terms — handling single specialist vacancies and high-volume campaigns through one accountable contact.
