Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Kensington.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Kensington is served by the capital's dense network of fulfilment, parcel and airfreight operations, which makes good permanent people both vital and hard to keep. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Leadership demand across London & the South East follows urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
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.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kensington run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in London & the South East 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.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
