From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Hawick with results they can explain.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Across southern Scotland, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor. We search for leaders who already know that market.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Across southern Scotland, operations and general managers are hired by Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hawick run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.

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.
