We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Kirriemuir and Scotland.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Sites such as the Port of Dundee and the Dundee and Perth industrial estates vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Leadership demand across Tayside & Fife follows food and drink manufacturing, soft-fruit and agri-food distribution, life sciences and regional 3PLs.
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.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kirriemuir 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.
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.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
