Operations Management Recruitment in Driffield

We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Driffield and Yorkshire & the Humber.

Humber & East Yorkshire

Recruiting operations managers in Driffield

Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.

Sites such as Goole and the M62 eastern corridor distribution parks 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.

Across the Humber & East Yorkshire, operations and general managers are hired by port and bulk terminal operators, offshore wind and renewables supply chains, chemicals and food processing and rail-linked 3PLs.

Your brief

Before we start searching

A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.

When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Your interview process, including presentations
