Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Barry.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Barry sits in Wales, where the M4 corridor, the ABP ports and a strong manufacturing base anchor the logistics labour market. Across Wales, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the M4 corridor and the ABP ports at Cardiff, Newport and Swansea, plus the Deeside parks in the north.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
The strongest operations candidates across Wales are usually already leading operations for businesses such as steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Barry 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.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
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.
