Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Crewe.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Crewe sits in the North West — the region's logistics engine, where Trafford Park, the M62 and the Port of Liverpool drive distribution across the North. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Crewe, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Proven general managers at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool are usually approached directly.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
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.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Crewe 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.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
