The general managers and operations directors who turn Bishop Auckland sites around and keep them improving.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19 vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Leadership demand across the North East follows automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bishop Auckland 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
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.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
