The general managers and operations directors who turn Diss sites around and keep them improving.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Operations across Norfolk & the Fens are connected by the A11, the A47, the A17 and the ports at Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Proven general managers at sites such as King's Lynn and the Fenland agri-food and cold-storage estates are usually approached directly.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
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 Diss run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
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.
For Diss operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
