The general managers and operations directors who turn Banbury 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 vacancies across the South East come from retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Banbury run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
