Permanent operations leadership recruitment across Scotland.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations across Scotland are connected by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Operations leadership roles across Scotland are spread across sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Blantyre run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
We compare leadership offers with current roles of similar size and scope rather than old survey data. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
