Logistics Recruitment

The logistics sector is the backbone of Australia’s supply chain, ensuring goods flow seamlessly from warehouse to customer. Yet the landscape has shifted. Where volumes once surged only during the Christmas peak, the rise of e-commerce has made high demand the new normal. This constant pressure has created a growing challenge for businesses: finding skilled logistics professionals who can maintain efficiency, uphold safety, and deliver on time in an environment that never slows down.

Jenny Barbour works with logistics businesses dealing with these exact hurdles. We know the difference between a driver who can handle a B-double and one who’ll struggle with tight delivery windows. We understand which warehouse managers can actually implement new picking systems without losing their teams. When you need logistics professionals who won’t fold under pressure, we find people who’ve already proven they can handle the chaos.
