Case studies

  • Range of typical starting salaries for graduate entrants: £15,656 - £30,716.
  • Range of typical salaries at senior level/with experience (e.g. after 10-15 years in the role): £36,000 - £60,000+. (Salary data from The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) UK .)
  • Salaries may be part of a package with a range of benefits including company car, staff discount, pension, life insurance and/or private health insurance.
  • Salaries vary depending on employer, sector, size of organisation and geographical location.
  • Working hours typically include early starts, late finishes, weekends and shift work.
  • Senior managers often work a more conventional week, although working long hours when necessary.
  • Working hours for most managers are heavier in high seasons: planning for Christmas within the retail sector begins during the summer and rises to a peak in December.
  • Work is divided between the shop floor or warehouse and the office.
  • Self-employment or freelance work is sometimes possible, though relevant experience is necessary and logistics consultancies are unlikely to take on new graduates in this role. Opportunities improve for freelance consultancy work with experience.
  • Although men are in the majority in the profession, the number of women applicants is rising.
  • Opportunities are available throughout the UK, commonly located within easy reach of motorways and rail, sea and air terminals.
  • It may occasionally be necessary to travel during the working day.
  • Overnight absence from home and overseas work or travel are uncommon, though there is scope to undertake overseas placements.
