From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Leigh with results they can explain.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Logistics around Leigh is powered by the M6/M62 corridor, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and one of the UK's densest warehousing clusters. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, operations leaders across the North West often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Leigh 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.
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.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
