Permanent operations leadership recruitment across the South East.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Operations across the South East are connected by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Proven general managers at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick are usually approached directly.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Chesham 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.
