The general managers and operations directors who turn Calne sites around and keep them improving.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Operations employers across the South West include port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Calne 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.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
