Permanent operations leadership recruitment across the East of England.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
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.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Proven general managers at sites such as the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11 are usually approached directly.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Haverhill run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
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.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.
