Operations Management Recruitment in Glossop

The general managers and operations directors who turn Glossop sites around and keep them improving.

East Midlands

An operations recruitment desk for Glossop

Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.

Sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.

A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.

Leadership demand across the East Midlands follows big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.

We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
