Trafford Park sits within Greater Manchester's logistics network, with warehousing and transport operations around Westinghouse Road, Trafford Wharf and the freight terminal. 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 Trafford Park 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 Westinghouse Road, Trafford Wharf and the freight terminal to operations reached via M60 (J9–J10), we deliver vetted, referenced shortlists.
Trafford Park was the world's first planned industrial estate, laid out after 1896 on the southern bank of the Manchester Ship Canal opposite Salford Quays, and it is still one of the largest in Europe, with around 1,400 companies and some 40,000 people working there. The park sits about three miles south-west of Manchester city centre between M60 junctions 9 and 10, with the A5081 Parkway feeding traffic in from the motorway. Rail freight is a defining feature: the Trafford Park Euroterminal, opened in 1993, can handle around 100,000 containers a year, and container traffic moves on to warehouses along Westinghouse Road, Ashburton Road and Guinness Road. Trafford Wharf faces the canal, and the Metrolink Trafford Park Line has linked the estate with the city since 2020. Food manufacturing, chilled and ambient distribution, engineering and parcel operations all share the park.
Demand here follows container arrivals at the rail terminal and the production cycles of the park's food manufacturers, with retail and grocery distribution adding sharp peaks before Christmas and bank holidays. 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.
