We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Lancaster and the North West.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Across the North West, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. We search for leaders who already know that market.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Lancaster, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Across the North West, operations and general managers are hired by port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lancaster 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
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.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
