Hiring operations leaders for good in Chorley

Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.

Operations employers across the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.

Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.

Proven general managers at sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal are usually approached directly.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The brief

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

Market mapping

We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.

Confidential approach

Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.

Your brief

The brief that works

Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.

Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
