• Manufacturing
• Automotive
• Logistics
• Warehousing
• Distribution
• Transport
• International trade

This combination makes the area highly relevant for workforce supply and recruitment.

Aviation and Airport Workforce Requirements at BHX

Airport and aviation-connected operations can have changing workforce requirements.

Demand can increase because of:

• Seasonal peaks
• Additional flights
• Increased cargo activity
• New contracts

A business may require one new employee, while another operation may require an entire additional workforce.
