We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Helston and the South West.
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.
Across Devon & Cornwall, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates. We search for leaders who already know that market.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Across Devon & Cornwall, operations and general managers are hired by food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Helston run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Senior candidates compare the whole package: bonus, car allowance, pension, holiday and the authority the role carries. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
