Why Kingsnorth Employers Recruit Logistics Staff

Kingsnorth lies on the southern shore of the Hoo Peninsula, facing Gillingham across the Medway, on land once used for a First World War airship station and later for Kingsnorth power station, which closed in 2012 and was demolished by 2018. Its employment area has three parts: the established Kingsnorth Industrial Estate and Jacksons Park units near Hoo St Werburgh, Goodman's Kingsnorth Commercial Park for large-scale warehousing, and MedwayOne, the 279-acre former power station site where Uniper secured outline consent in 2023 for industrial, storage and distribution uses, a lorry park and potential data centre space. Access is along the dualled A228 and the A289 to M2 junction 1, roughly five miles away. With room for big-box sheds that the older Medway towns cannot offer, Kingsnorth is the peninsula's main growth location for logistics and manufacturing.

Kingsnorth's demand is driven by new warehouse and industrial buildings coming on stream at Kingsnorth Commercial Park and MedwayOne, with larger recruitment waves when big occupiers open and seasonal peaks once sites are running. 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.
