Why Lichfield Employers Recruit Logistics Staff

Lichfield's logistics pull rests on the A38 and A5, which cross just north of the city and connect it to the M6 Toll (T5), the M42 and the wider West Midlands motorway box without the congestion of the M6 itself. The A38 runs north to Burton upon Trent and Derby and south toward Birmingham, while the A51 and A461 link Tamworth, Cannock and Sutton Coldfield — the city's closest neighbours and shared labour market. Two stations, Lichfield Trent Valley on the West Coast Main Line and Lichfield City, add rail connectivity, and Trent Valley is a recognised freight point. Fradley Park, built beside the former airfield off the A38, has grown into a major national distribution location, drawing retailers, parcel carriers and manufacturers whose warehouses all depend on a steady flow of drivers and operatives.

That demand spans the full range of logistics roles: C+E and C class HGV drivers, multi-drop van drivers, warehouse operatives, counterbalance and reach FLT operators, transport planners, transport clerks, warehouse and shift supervisors, and operations managers. Employers at Fradley Park and Britannia Enterprise Park compete with Burton's brewing logistics and Cannock's distribution sheds for the same ticketed staff, and filling night and weekend shifts without high turnover is the recurring headache. WSUK provides vetted, referenced shortlists on permanent and contract terms, covering single vacancies and volume hiring as new units at Fradley come on stream.

Common Questions

Logistics Recruitment in Lichfield — FAQs

Can WSUK staff a new distribution unit opening at Fradley Park?

Yes. Fradley's continued expansion means new sheds need teams from day one — warehouse operatives, FLT operators, shift supervisors, transport planners and HGV drivers. We run staged, referenced shortlists so you can build a full shift structure on permanent or contract terms, single roles or volume.

Where does WSUK find drivers for Lichfield when the A38 corridor is competitive?

We recruit across the shared Tamworth, Cannock, Burton and Sutton Coldfield labour market, not just Lichfield itself, and benchmark pay against Fradley's larger operators. That wider reach, plus proper referencing, means our HGV and multi-drop shortlists hold up when local competition is fierce.

What logistics roles do you recruit for?

Permanent and contract roles across the sector — HGV and van drivers, FLT operators, warehouse operatives and supervisors, transport planners, and operations and warehouse managers.

Do you vet and reference candidates?

Yes — we screen, reference and right-to-work check candidates before shortlisting, so you interview only people who fit and can start.

Do you recruit permanent or contract staff?

Both. We place permanent hires and can also provide fixed-term, interim or contract cover for specific needs.
