Operations management recruitment for Aldershot operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Operations across the South East are connected by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
The strongest operations candidates across the South East are usually already leading operations for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Aldershot run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the South East moves with the size of the operation, the number of sites and the contract: multi-site and director roles earn the most. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
