From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Burnley with results they can explain.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Across the North West, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal. We search for leaders who already know that market.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Leadership demand across the North West follows retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Burnley 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.
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.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
