Permanent operations leadership recruitment across Scotland.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations vacancies across Scotland come from retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bothwell run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Senior candidates compare the whole package: bonus, car allowance, pension, holiday and the authority the role carries. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
