Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Letchworth.
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.
Operations employers across the East of England include container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Proven general managers at sites such as Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port — the A14 freight corridor and the parks along the M11 and A1(M) are usually approached directly.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Indicative permanent salaries in Letchworth 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.
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 arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
For Letchworth operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
