We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Farnborough and the South East.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Operations employers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Operations leadership roles across the South East are spread across sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
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.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Indicative permanent salaries in Farnborough run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Senior candidates compare the whole package: bonus, car allowance, pension, holiday and the authority the role carries. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
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.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
