From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Blackpool with results they can explain.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Operations vacancies across the North West come from retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
Sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Blackpool 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.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
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.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
