Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Bathgate.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Bathgate is served by Scotland's logistics network, centred on the Central Belt's rail-connected freight parks. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Sites such as the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
