Sheerness sits within Medway & North Kent's logistics network, with warehousing and transport operations around the Port of Sheerness, Lappel Bank and Queenborough. 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 Sheerness 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 the Port of Sheerness, Lappel Bank and Queenborough to operations reached via A249 to M2 J5, we deliver vetted, referenced shortlists.
Sheerness, at the north-west tip of the Isle of Sheppey, is built around the Port of Sheerness, operated by Peel Ports as part of its London Medway cluster since the Royal Navy left in 1960. The port is a major UK gateway for imported vehicles, with around 190 acres of secure storage at Lappel Bank, and it runs one of the country's largest fresh produce terminals, with temperature-controlled storage, alongside a timber and forest products terminal handling about 1.3 million tonnes a year. A branch rail line serves the port, and the A249 crosses the Swale on the Sheppey Crossing to reach the M2 at junction 5 and the M20 at junction 7. Inland, Queenborough's industrial estate and the Neats Court retail and employment area add workshops, depots and trade units, making Sheppey a port-led logistics location.
Sheerness demand follows vessel arrivals, rising with vehicle import volumes ahead of the March and September plate changes and during fresh produce import seasons, then easing between shipments. 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.
