Operations management recruitment for Bury operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Across the North West, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. We search for leaders who already know that market.
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 M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, operations leaders across the North West often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
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.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bury 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.
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.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
A strong operations brief covers:
