Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Lewes.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Operations across the South East are connected by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.

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.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lewes run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.

Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
