WSUK recruits permanent staff for Raunds employers on Warth Park and across the Nene Valley, spanning logistics, distribution, food and light industrial. Referenced, screened, right-to-work checked shortlists, whether you need a single transport planner or a full warehouse intake for a growing contract.
Permanent recruitment in Raunds serves the big-box occupiers on Warth Park, where Howdens, DSV, Whirlpool and DPD run national distribution. On the A45 and A14 (J13), employers hire permanent warehouse operatives, FLT drivers and HGV drivers through to transport planners and warehouse managers. WSUK delivers vetted, referenced shortlists for single vacancies and volume permanent campaigns.
Raunds punches far above its size in logistics. The 160-acre Warth Park, sitting beside the A45 with the A14 (J13) close by, has become a genuine national distribution node, home to Howdens, DSV, Whirlpool, Hotpoint, DPD, Dr. Martens and Robert Wiseman Dairies. This East Northamptonshire cluster, linking Rushden, Wellingborough, Kettering and Higham Ferrers, sits inside the logistics Golden Triangle, so big-shed fulfilment and distribution now dominate an economy once built on footwear and leather. The A45 corridor and A14 give operators fast reach to the M1, M6 and the East Coast ports, drawing e-commerce, white-goods and grocery distributors who need dependable permanent crews. Kimbolton Road and surrounding units add light-industrial and trade-counter employers to the local mix.
For Warth Park occupiers, permanent recruitment is about protecting service levels on high-volume contracts. Peaks, new client wins and expanding footprints create hard-to-fill demand for warehouse operatives, FLT and VNA drivers, HGV and multidrop van drivers, plus goods-in supervisors, team leaders, transport planners and warehouse and operations managers. WSUK sources vetted, referenced shortlists across logistics, industrial and food roles, completing screening, references and right-to-work checks before candidates reach you. We deliver single specialist hires and volume permanent campaigns alike, so a distributor replacing a shift manager and an operator staffing a brand-new Warth Park unit both receive candidates chosen for reliability and long-term retention, not stopgap cover.
