We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Alloa and Scotland.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Alloa, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
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.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Alloa run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in Scotland 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.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
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.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
A strong operations brief covers:
Loading live roles…
Operations and general managers, site and regional operations managers, operations directors, heads of operations, contract managers, continuous improvement managers and mobilisation managers.
We look at the P&L, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, their safety record and their right to work, then discuss your operation with them.
Yes. Senior searches can be run discreetly, including when the current post holder is still in place.
Yes. Tell us the sites and the travel involved so we approach leaders who want that kind of role.
