Workers Direct: Logistics and Supply Chain
Recruitment Agency in Bristol for
Transport Coordinators, Warehouse Supervisors
and Distribution Managers
Bristol is one of the UK's most strategically important logistics hubs. Its position on the M4/M5 corridor, the proximity of Avonmouth Docks, and a thriving FMCG, retail and pharmaceutical manufacturing base make the city a powerhouse for supply chain operations. As demand for skilled logistics professionals intensifies, businesses across Bristol need a dependable recruitment partner who can move as fast as their operations do.
Workers Direct is that partner. As a specialist warehouse and logistics staffing agency with a proven track record across the UK since 2010, we provide Bristol employers with thoroughly vetted Transport Coordinators, Warehouse Supervisors and Distribution Managers — on temporary, temp-to-perm and permanent contracts.
The Roles We Fill in Bristol
Three critical positions. One specialist agency.
Transport Coordinators
Effective transport coordination is the heartbeat of any distribution network. Our Transport Coordinators are experienced in planning and scheduling vehicle movements, liaising with drivers, managing proof-of-delivery documentation and working directly with transport management systems (TMS). They understand the pressure of KPI-driven environments and hit the ground running from day one.
Whether you require cover for a peak period at an Avonmouth distribution centre or a permanent coordinator to own your entire Bristol transport desk, Workers Direct has the candidate pipeline to deliver. Every candidate we put forward has been checked against the UK Working Time Regulations and driver hours compliance requirements.
Warehouse Supervisors
A skilled Warehouse Supervisor keeps your operation safe, compliant and throughput-efficient. Workers Direct places supervisors with demonstrable experience managing inbound and outbound workflows, conducting safety briefings, coordinating pick-pack teams and enforcing stock accuracy standards. Our candidates typically hold counterbalance or reach FLT licences and IOSH Managing Safely certification as a baseline.

Distribution Managers
At management level, a wrong hire is costly. Workers Direct's executive logistics consultants take time to understand your business model, volume profile and leadership culture before presenting candidates. Our Distribution Managers come with a track record in multi-site or high-volume single-site operations, P&L awareness, route optimisation and team leadership at 20+ headcount.
Many Bristol businesses in pharmaceuticals, retail and third-party logistics (3PL) have trusted Workers Direct to find their next senior hire. Our temp-to-perm pathway also gives you the chance to evaluate management-level candidates in a live environment before making a permanent commitment.
