From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Islington with results they can explain.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Operations employers across London & the South East include urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Islington, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Sites such as the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Islington run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
We compare leadership offers with current roles of similar size and scope rather than old survey data. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
