Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Blackburn.
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 Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, operations leaders across the North West often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Blackburn run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
