Logistics & Supply Chain sector
The North of England is the logistics and distribution centre of the UK. The M62 and M6 corridors host Europe's densest concentration of distribution, fulfilment and 3PL operations, alongside a fast-growing community of supply-chain SaaS and visibility-platform vendors serving them. This is a substantial and under-served commercial market.
Logistics commercial sales blends operational fluency with capital-services contracting. Evara's partners have placed senior commercial leaders into 3PL, fulfilment and supply-chain SaaS businesses across the M62 corridor and understand the operational reality these commercial leaders sell against.

Logistics commercial supply is healthy across the M62 corridor at SDR, AE and KAM level. Senior commercial leadership is more concentrated and most strong candidates are passive and embedded in long equity packages, particularly in PE-backed 3PL groups.
Logistics commercial salaries in the North run broadly in line with industrial manufacturing for equivalent seats. Supply-chain SaaS roles attract a mild premium where the buyer-side profile is enterprise.

Wakefield, Leeds and Bradford anchor the Yorkshire logistics base, with the M1 / M62 intersection making Wakefield the natural commercial gravity centre.
North West
Warrington, Liverpool and Manchester anchor the North West logistics base, with Blackburn (EG Group) and the wider Lancashire distribution belt adding scale.
