// How we work this sector

The sector we started in.

Logistics and supply chain is where Loom started and where most of our work still sits. The businesses that make, store and move goods run on tight margins and tighter deadlines, and the difference between a site that works and one that does not is nearly always the person running it.

So that is who we recruit: the managers, leaders and project teams who carry that weight. Warehouse, transport, planning and continuous improvement, permanent, FTC and interim, planner to boardroom.

Every consultant on this desk has recruited the sector for years and holds a patch they know. A brief starts from names, not a database search. In truth, around two placements in six come from the advert; the rest come from the network built by years on the same desk.

When a major 3PL needed a full team for a new site against one non-negotiable customer go-live date, that network delivered it from a standing start. That is the standard the desk works to.

It started with a single, trusted conversation.

A major 3PL needed a new site fully staffed before a customer go-live they had no room to miss. We built the whole team from a standing start and had every manager in place before go-live, against the biggest names in recruitment.
