Hiring a general manager in Horwich? We look at the P&L they have run and the teams they have built before anything else.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Operations employers across the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, operations leaders across the North West often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Horwich run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the North West moves with the size of the operation, the number of sites and the contract: multi-site and director roles earn the most. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
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.
