We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Birkenhead and the North West.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Across the North West, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. We search for leaders who already know that market.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Leadership demand across the North West follows port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
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 Birkenhead run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
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.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
