We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Bideford and the South West.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
Leadership demand across Devon & Cornwall follows food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bideford run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Senior candidates compare the whole package: bonus, car allowance, pension, holiday and the authority the role carries. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.
