Operations management recruitment for Louth operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Louth sits in the East Midlands — the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics, with DIRFT and Magna Park among the country's largest distribution clusters. Across the East Midlands, operations leaders are needed at sites such as Magna Park, DIRFT and the East Midlands Gateway beside East Midlands Airport.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
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.
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.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Louth 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.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
