Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Dartmouth.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates 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.
The strongest operations candidates across Devon & Cornwall are usually already leading operations for businesses such as chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.
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.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dartmouth 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.
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.
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.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
