We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Bristol and the South West.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations across the South West are connected by the M5, M4 and M32, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. 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.
Proven general managers at sites such as Avonmouth and Severnside, Western Approach and the M5 corridor are usually approached directly.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
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 Bristol 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.
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.
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.
