Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Cottingham.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Operations employers across the Humber & East Yorkshire include container and ro-ro operators, energy and bulk logistics, chilled food distribution and regional hauliers. 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.
With the M62, the A63, the A15 and the ports of Hull, Immingham and Goole serving the region, operations leaders across the Humber & East Yorkshire often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.

Operations pay in Yorkshire & the Humber moves with the size of the operation, the number of sites and the contract: multi-site and director roles earn the most. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
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.
