Devon & Cornwall

An operations recruitment desk for Looe

The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.

Operations across Devon & Cornwall are connected by the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.

We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.

Operations leadership roles across Devon & Cornwall are spread across sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.

Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Your interview process, including presentations
