Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Belper.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Operations across the East Midlands are connected by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. 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.
Leadership demand across the East Midlands follows big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
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.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Belper run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
