From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Boston with results they can explain.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Sites such as DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Magna Park and the big-shed parks on the M1 and A14 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.
Across the East Midlands, operations and general managers are hired by national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Boston run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
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.
