Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Elland.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Across Yorkshire, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the M62/M1 corridor, iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley. We search for leaders who already know that market.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
With the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham serving the region, operations leaders across Yorkshire often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Elland run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
