Operations management recruitment for King's Lynn operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
King's Lynn sits in Norfolk and the Fens, served by the A11 and A47 rather than the A14 and Felixstowe corridor that dominates Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Sites such as the A47 corridor between King's Lynn, Norwich and Great Yarmouth compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
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 King's Lynn run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. 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 ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
