Highlands & Islands

Operations leaders for Alness

Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.

Alness sits in the Highlands and Islands, where the A9, the west-coast ferries and long trunk routes shape how freight actually moves — not the Central Belt motorway network. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.

Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.

Leadership demand across the Highlands & Islands follows distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.

Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
