Warehouse operative jobs in Bury

Warehousing and storage in Bury is counted at 500 employee jobs, 0.68% of the 73,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Picking and packing sit inside that count, along with goods in, stock control and shift management, because the survey counts sites rather than tasks. The 500 freight transport by road jobs in Bury are counted separately, and they are the vehicles those sites load.

UK Business Counts recorded 25 warehousing and storage sites in Bury at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 20 of them, 80%, employ under ten, a lower share than most areas, so medium and large sites have a real presence here.
