Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations 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.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Chorley run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Senior candidates compare the whole package: bonus, car allowance, pension, holiday and the authority the role carries. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
