We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Herne Bay and the South East.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Operations vacancies across the South East come from grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
Operations leadership roles across the South East are spread across sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.
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.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Herne Bay run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. 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 ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
