Permanent operations leadership recruitment across Scotland.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Across Scotland, operations and general managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
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.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Clydebank run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
