The general managers and operations directors who turn Buckingham sites around and keep them improving.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Logistics operations around Buckingham serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. Across the South East, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.
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 South East, operations and general managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Buckingham run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
If your offer sits below what comparable leaders earn, we tell you before any interviews. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
