WSUK fills temporary warehouse and forklift jobs for Eccles & Barton Dock employers — pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in/out operatives and counterbalance, reach and PPT FLT drivers — for peaks, absence and short-notice shifts.

The Barton crossing of the Manchester Ship Canal is one of the region's oldest transport pinch points: the Barton Swing Aqueduct carries the Bridgewater Canal over the ship canal, and the high-level Barton Bridge carries the M60 alongside. On the Trafford bank, Barton Dock Road runs past the Trafford Centre towards M60 junction 10, lined with retail, leisure and distribution units. On the Salford bank, Eccles and Peel Green were once dominated by heavy engineering, including the engine builder L Gardner & Sons, and older works sites such as the Barton Hall Industrial Estate now house smaller manufacturing and storage businesses. Port Salford, a multimodal freight terminal opened by Peel Ports in 2016 on the ship canal at Barton, adds modern warehousing to the mix. M60 junction 11 on the A57 serves Eccles and Irlam, and the M602 heads east into Salford.
Labour demand around Barton rises with shipping and container movements at Port Salford and with Trafford Centre retail peaks, which push extra stock through Barton Dock Road warehouses in the run-up to Christmas. Every one of those swings opens gaps that must be filled quickly. WSUK supplies temporary warehouse and forklift teams — pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in/out operatives and counterbalance, reach and PPT truck drivers — inducted and ready for Eccles & Barton Dock sites. We manage vetting, right-to-work verification, PAYE payroll and working-time compliance, and flex headcount up for peaks and back down afterwards.
