Warehouse operative jobs in Greenwich

Warehousing and storage in Greenwich is counted at 1,250 employee jobs, 1.36% of the 92,000 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 200 freight transport by road jobs in Greenwich are counted separately, and they are the vehicles those sites load.
