A standing start to a full team.

When Bleckmann won its largest UK contract, the new Lutterworth site needed 48 managers in post before a go-live date that couldn't move. Loom built the team from a standing start and had all 48 managers in place before go-live.

// The brief, and what happened

It started with a single, trusted conversation.

Bleckmann's biggest UK win in years came with a significant condition attached.

A new 760,000 sq. ft. site in Lutterworth had a non-negotiable customer go-live date, and 48 brand new management roles to fill across the warehouse, inventory, contract management & analytics functions, including the new site leader themselves.

Matt, our founder, and Luke, one of our Midlands operational leads, sat down with Bleckmann's leadership team, agreed what good looked like for each role, department and overall site cultural objectives, working alongside each other from that day on. As priorities moved, which they did quickly, the two teams moved with them.

All 48 managers were in place before the fixed go-live date. The go-live went ahead as planned, the site outperformed anticipated volumes from week 2, and to date this is still one of the projects Loom is proudest of.

// In their words

“A recent business win, the largest in the UK for our business, presented us with an irremovable & exceptionally tight go-live timeline across 45+ site management hires. Matt, Luke & the broader Loom Talent team were responsive, flexible and easy to work with whilst quickly understanding both the urgency and what we needed to achieve.”

“Even when priorities were moving quickly, they remained proactive and solutions-focused, which made a real difference in helping us maintain momentum and transitioned into a highly successful go-live operation. Personally, I found Matt professional, dependable and genuinely committed to supporting a successful outcome. I would be very happy to work with him again.”
