Why Sittingbourne Employers Choose Permanent Recruitment

Sittingbourne is the Swale borough's industrial centre, with a paper-making history reaching back centuries. Eurolink, on the former Murston brickfields to the north-east of the town, is its main business park, with more than 1.5 million sq ft of space around Eurolink Way and the Castle Road business precinct, including the Glenmore and Smeed Dean centres. The Sittingbourne Northern Relief Road crosses Milton Creek to link Eurolink with the A249 at Kemsley. Around Kemsley are the Kemsley paper mill, a major recycled-paper operation, a large Morrisons regional distribution centre and Knauf's plasterboard manufacturing, with Ridham Dock on the Swale just to the north. The A249 reaches M2 junction 5, rebuilt with a flyover in 2025, in about four miles and continues to the M20 at junction 7, while Sittingbourne station sits on the Chatham Main Line.

In Sittingbourne, labour demand rises with supermarket distribution volumes at Kemsley before Christmas and bank holidays, shift patterns at the paper mill and plasterboard plant, and new warehouse occupiers moving onto Eurolink. That is why retention and cultural fit matter as much as headcount. WSUK recruits the whole operation permanently — warehouse operatives, FLT and HGV drivers, production staff, team leaders, transport planners and warehouse and operations managers. We screen, reference and right-to-work-check every candidate before they reach a shortlist, for single strategic vacancies and high-volume campaigns alike.
