We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Frome and the South West.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Across the South West, operations and general managers are hired by food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers.
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.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Indicative permanent salaries in Frome 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.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
