Operations leaders for Ealing

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

Ealing is served by the capital's dense network of fulfilment, parcel and airfreight operations, which makes good permanent people both vital and hard to keep. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.

We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.

Proven general managers at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt are usually approached directly.
