Permanent recruitment for Burton upon Trent, Britain's brewing capital. From Molson Coors and the food-and-drink sites around Centrum 100 to distribution off the A38 and A50, WSUK hires vetted permanent staff across production, warehouse, transport and management roles — single vacancies and multi-role campaigns alike.
WSUK provides permanent recruitment for Burton upon Trent employers across brewing, food production, logistics and manufacturing — operatives, FLT and HGV drivers, production staff, supervisors, planners and managers — on single-vacancy or volume terms. From Molson Coors and the food and drink plants around Centrum 100 and Branston to distribution off the A38, we deliver vetted, referenced shortlists of permanent staff who fit and stay.
Burton upon Trent is the historic capital of British brewing and still a major food-and-drink manufacturing centre, giving it an industrial base quite distinct from a pure logistics town. Molson Coors runs its UK brewing headquarters here, and the sector pulls in packaging, ingredients, cold-chain and distribution activity across estates such as Centrum 100, the Wellington Road Industrial Estate and Branston. Its position on the A38, with the A50 corridor linking the M1 and M6 and the wider East Midlands, makes it a strong distribution location, while Lichfield, Tamworth, Derby and Cannock widen the labour market. Brewing, food production, manufacturing and logistics therefore sit together here, all needing dependable permanent staff on demanding production and shift patterns.
Food and drink production runs to tight standards and continuous shifts, so employers here value permanent staff who understand hygiene, safety and reliability far more than a revolving temp bench. Breweries, food plants and their distribution operations need production and packaging operatives, FLT and HGV drivers, warehouse staff, engineers, transport planners and shift managers. WSUK recruits all of them permanently, for single vacancies and volume campaigns, screening and referencing every candidate and confirming right to work before shortlisting. Because we recruit across sectors rather than logistics alone, we can staff a Burton operation end to end — production line, warehouse, transport and the supervisors and managers running them — with vetted people who stay through peak and beyond.
