Permanent operations leadership recruitment across Devon & Cornwall.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Leadership demand across Devon & Cornwall follows food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bodmin 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.
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.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
