Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Airdrie.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations across Scotland are connected by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Across Scotland, operations and general managers are hired by whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Airdrie run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.

We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
