Why Northfleet & Gravesend Employers Recruit Logistics Staff

Northfleet and Gravesend face Tilbury across the Thames, on a riverfront that was the centre of Europe's cement industry until the last Northfleet works closed in 2008. Heavy industry still has a presence: Kimberly-Clark's Northfleet mill on Crete Hall Road makes Andrex tissue, with a green hydrogen facility planned on its land. Smaller-scale activity is concentrated at Northfleet Industrial Estate off Lower Road and the A226 Thames Way, and at Ebbsfleet Business Park on Stonebridge Road. The A2 runs about two to three miles to the south, giving direct access to the M25 at junction 2 and east to Medway, while Ebbsfleet International and Gravesend stations put the area on High Speed 1. Large-scale housing at Ebbsfleet Garden City is reshaping former quarry land, and the planned Lower Thames Crossing will pass east of Gravesend.

Northfleet and Gravesend demand follows production at the riverside mill, construction across Ebbsfleet Garden City and the A2 corridor, and future work linked to the Lower Thames Crossing east of Gravesend. 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.
