    ​LME Recruitment is now recognised as a go-to partner for shipping and logistics recruitment in Suffolk and beyond. The new portals and app go live, offering clients and candidates even more control and transparency. The team celebrates record client retention and a growing list of successful placements. But LME never stands still: the focus is on continuous improvement, new partnerships, and making recruitment even easier, smarter, and more rewarding for everyone involved. The goal? To help more businesses thrive and more candidates love what they do—every single day.

    ​This year, LME takes a leap forward with technology. The team introduces new digital tools, including a modern CRM and compliance systems, to streamline the candidate and client experience. Work begins on launching dedicated client and candidate portals, making communication and application tracking seamless. LME also expands its services, offering CV writing and job description support, and invests in content and social media to reach even more logistics professionals.

LME’s reputation for going the extra mile (sometimes literally!) results in repeat business, glowing testimonials, and a steady stream of referrals. The focus remains on delivering tailored staffing solutions and building lasting partnerships—not just filling vacancies.
