Permanent operations leadership recruitment across the North East.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Across the North East, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the A1(M) and A19 corridor estates. We search for leaders who already know that market.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Alnwick, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Across the North East, operations and general managers are hired by automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Alnwick run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the North 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.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
