Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Broadstairs.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow 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.
With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover serving the region, operations leaders across the South East often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
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 stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Broadstairs run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
An offer set at the market saves a second round of negotiation. We give you a current read on leadership pay before the search starts. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
