We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Dagenham and London & the South East.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Sites such as the Heathrow airfreight belt, Park Royal, Enfield and the Thames Gateway vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Leadership demand across London & the South East follows e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dagenham 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.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
