Operations management recruitment for Grantham operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Operations across the East Midlands are connected by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Across the East Midlands, operations and general managers are hired by national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Grantham run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the East Midlands moves with the size of the operation, the number of sites and the contract: multi-site and director roles earn the most. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
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.
A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
