Why Dartford & Thurrock Employers Recruit Logistics Staff

Dartford and Thurrock sit on either side of the Dartford Crossing, the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and tunnels that carry the A282 section of the M25 and handle well over 130,000 vehicles a day. On the Kent bank, Crossways Business Park and Goodman's Crossways Commercial Park at junction 1a host large warehouses and offices, including Mazda's UK head office, with the A2 at junction 2 serving further sites towards Bluewater. On the Essex bank, the A1089 leads to the Port of Tilbury, London's principal port, where Amazon's 2.2 million sq ft fulfilment centre stands, while the A13 from junction 30 runs to DP World London Gateway, a deep-sea container port with a logistics park whose occupiers include UPS and Lidl. The area forms part of the Thames Freeport, and the approved Lower Thames Crossing will add a second river link further east.

Demand in Dartford and Thurrock rises with container and ro-ro volumes at Tilbury and London Gateway, online retail peaks from Black Friday to January, and new warehouse openings along the M25 and A13. 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.
