Permanent operations leadership recruitment across the North West.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations across the North West are connected by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Operations leadership roles across the North West are spread across sites such as Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Huyton run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
An offer set at the market saves a second round of negotiation. We give you a current read on leadership pay before the search starts. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
