Operations management recruitment for Campbeltown operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Campbeltown sits in the Highlands and Islands, where the A9, the west-coast ferries and long trunk routes shape how freight actually moves — not the Central Belt motorway network. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Proven general managers at sites such as the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet are usually approached directly.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Campbeltown run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
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.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
