Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Harwich.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations across the East of England are connected by the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
The strongest operations candidates across the East of England are usually already leading operations for businesses such as port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
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 Harwich run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the East of England 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.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
