Permanent operations leadership recruitment across North Wales.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Sites such as Deeside Industrial Park and the A55 corridor vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Leadership demand across North Wales follows advanced manufacturing and aerospace, Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, food processing and regional 3PLs.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
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.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Caernarfon 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.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
