We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Littlehampton and the South East.
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.
Sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Across the South East, operations and general managers are hired by Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Littlehampton run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. 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 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.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
