Operations management recruitment for Long Eaton operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations across the East Midlands are connected by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
The strongest operations candidates across the East Midlands are usually already leading operations for businesses such as big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
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.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Long Eaton run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
If your offer sits below what comparable leaders earn, we tell you before any interviews. 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 permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
