The general managers and operations directors who turn Bourne sites around and keep them improving.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Logistics around Bourne is anchored by the Golden Triangle's national distribution centres and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. Across the East Midlands, operations leaders are needed at sites such as DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Magna Park and the big-shed parks on the M1 and A14.
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.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
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 Bourne 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.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
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.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
