London & the South East

Recruiting operations managers in Hounslow

We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.

Logistics employers around Hounslow compete in the UK's tightest labour market, where retaining permanent talent matters as much as hiring it. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.

A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.

Leadership demand across London & the South East follows e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.

We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Headcount and the management team structure
