We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Bexley and London & the South East.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Logistics employers around Bexley compete in the UK's tightest labour market, where retaining permanent talent matters as much as hiring it. Across London & the South East, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the Heathrow airfreight belt, Park Royal, Enfield and the Thames Gateway.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Leadership demand across London & the South East follows e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
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 Bexley run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
If your offer sits below what comparable leaders earn, we tell you before any interviews. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
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.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
