Salford & Irlam sits within Greater Manchester's logistics network, with warehousing and transport operations around Irlam Wharf, Northbank Industrial Park and Fairhills. 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 Salford & Irlam 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 Irlam Wharf, Northbank Industrial Park and Fairhills to operations reached via A57 to M60 (J11), we deliver vetted, referenced shortlists.
Irlam sits on flat land between the M62 and the north bank of the Manchester Ship Canal, around seven miles south-west of Salford, and its industry has always been tied to the waterway. The canal turned Irlam into an inland port after 1894, and the Partington Steel and Iron Company opened steelworks here in 1910; after the works closed in 1979 the site became the Northbank Industrial Park, which now stretches along the Irlam and Cadishead boundary. Irlam Wharf and the Fairhills industrial estate add further manufacturing and warehouse space, and Kingsland Wine & Spirits, the UK's largest independent wine bottler, operates from a former soapworks site employing around 300 people. The A57 links Irlam east to Eccles and M60 junction 11, the M62 runs just to the north, and Irlam railway station sits on the line between Manchester and Liverpool.
Demand in Irlam rises with bottling and packaging runs ahead of Christmas and summer drinks seasons, and with production schedules at the manufacturers and warehouses on Northbank Industrial Park. 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.
