Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Glasgow.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Sites such as Eurocentral, Bellshill, Newhouse and the M8 corridor vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
With the M8, M74 and M77, Glasgow Airport and the Clyde ports serving the region, operations leaders across Central Scotland often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Glasgow run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
If your offer sits below what comparable leaders earn, we tell you before any interviews. 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 ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
