The general managers and operations directors who turn Heanor sites around and keep them improving.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Across the East Midlands, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1. 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 the East Midlands, operations and general managers are hired by national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Heanor 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
