The general managers and operations directors who turn Atherton sites around and keep them improving.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Operations across the North West are connected by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Proven general managers at sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool are usually approached directly.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Atherton run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
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.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
