We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Ashton-under-Lyne and the North West.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Operations employers across the North West include grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
Operations leadership roles across the North West are spread across sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ashton-under-Lyne run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
An offer set at the market saves a second round of negotiation. We give you a current read on leadership pay before the search starts. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
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.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
