London & the South East

Permanent operations directors for Bromley

We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.

Bromley is served by the capital's dense network of fulfilment, parcel and airfreight operations, which makes good permanent people both vital and hard to keep. Across London & the South East, operations leaders are needed at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt.

Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.

With the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury serving the region, operations leaders across London & the South East often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.

Positions we place

From site leaders to operations directors

The people who own the service, the costs and the team.

What sets the desk apart

An operations desk, not a generalist agency

The P&L first

We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.

Discreet searches

Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.

Beyond the start date

We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.

What the market pays

What operations leaders earn in Bromley

Indicative permanent salaries in Bromley 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.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The brief

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

The shortlist

A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.

Interviews and site visits

We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.

We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
