Permanent operations leadership recruitment across Cumbria.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Operations employers across Cumbria include food and drink and dairy processing, nuclear and marine supply chains, forestry and timber and regional hauliers. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Keswick, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Operations leadership roles across Cumbria are spread across sites such as the west Cumbrian coast at Workington and Whitehaven.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Keswick run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the North West 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
