What the official data says about Flintshire
Forklift work is counted inside warehousing and storage, which comes to 1,500 employee jobs in Flintshire, from 70,000 employee jobs across the area.
That count covers whole sites rather than truck types, so counterbalance on the bays, reach in the racking and VNA in the narrow aisles are all inside it, together with the picking most operators also do. Freight, warehousing and courier work together make up 3.48% of employment in Flintshire.
Median full-time pay in Flintshire was £39,426 a year in 2025 across all occupations combined. Forklift work is not published separately at this level, so treat that as area context and read the rate on the advert.
UK Business Counts recorded 25 warehousing and storage sites in Flintshire at the March 2025 reference date, 20 of them employing ten people or more. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 15 of them, 60%, employ under ten, well below the usual share. Large sites use the full range of truck types, so a ticket beyond counterbalance is worth more here.
Of the warehousing and storage employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Flintshire, 350 are part time, 21.9% of the split. The middle across Wales is 14.5%, so Flintshire sits above it, 5th of 22 areas on this measure. A part-time share at this level usually means twilight and weekend shifts running alongside the main rota.
Two further counts round out the Flintshire picture: 700 employee jobs in freight transport by road, and 235 employee jobs in postal and courier activities.
