Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Hucknall.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Hucknall sits in the East Midlands — the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics, with DIRFT and Magna Park among the country's largest distribution clusters. Across the East Midlands, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
With the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal serving the region, operations leaders across the East Midlands often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.

We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
